Best Friends

The night was clear; the sky full of stars;
Our breaths turned to fog as we talked.
We poured out our hearts and our thoughts about life,
Trusted each other with secrets
Untold to anyone else.

I've found a companion who knows what I mean
When I try to describe what I feel.
She understands everything as if she were me;
She feels what I'm feeling and thinks my thoughts.

Unaware of the time, we talked and we talked,
Gazing at patterns of lights in the sky.
What a beautiful night to spend with a friend!
