A True Friend

When the clouds would roll in
And I was feeling down
I always felt deep inside
That no one was around

All the promises I kept
And the secrets I told
Are nothing anymore
Only something inside, forever to hold

All the times I was lonely
And I needed someone near
I never really knew
That the someone true was really here

When it was pouring rain
And my tears would pour down, too
I held my head down low
Nothing to say, nothing to do

I needed a true friend
But why couldn’t I see?
That all that long, lonesome time,
She was right in front of me

Invisible but near
Hidden away
Right in front of me
But with nothing to say

In front of my face
Trying to be seen
To me, someone invisable
Just wedged in between

But little did I know
How I did underestimate
Because in the near future
She was someone to appreciate

My secrets were kept
My tears were held back
The true friend I needed
Was what I did lack

I had found what I needed
A new, true friend
Someone I would hold on to
And my trust, I would lend
