Hello My Dear Friend

Hello my dear friend it has been an eternity
Since my eyes have gazed into your soul
I feel the claw marks of doubt cutting through my heart
Alone as I fear I am, Alone as I know you are
Join me in a moment of peace, embrace my heart

I smile when I think of your distant heart,
Awake and feeling how truly alive you are
Love comes and flees my mind before it develops
Hope comes and clings to my soul
As old as I pretend to be, as young as you make me feel

Smile my sweet child, my angel of life
Bring joy into my heart, although you already have
I’ll never find the words to express my thanks
I’ll never find the way to show you my heart
