Today I met a great new friend

Who knew me right away

It was funny how she understood

All I had to say

*

She listened to my problems

She listened to my dreams

We talked about love and life

She'd been there, too, it seems

*

I never once felt judged by her

She knew just how I felt

She seemed to just accept me

And all the problems I'd been dealt

*

She didn't interrupt me

Or need to have her say

She just listened very patiently

And didn't go away

*

I wanted her to understand

How much this meant to me

But as I went to hug her

Something startled me

*

I put my arms in front of me

And went to pull her nearer

And realized that my new best friend

Was nothing but a mirror
