Aloha, My Friend

I have a dear friend that is going through some really hard times in life right now. Sooo, I wrote this song for you, to let you know I'm here for you - through thick and thin. I'm not a flake, I won't press you to return the favor, and I won't smother you with my own issues in life! I will be here for you as much or as little as you want me to be, and for as long as you want me to be . . . I'll be your friend . . . By the way, out of sheer curiosity, I looked up the meaning for "aloha" and I found out that it means much more than just a simple "hello" or "goodbye" . . . To me it seems like a way of life, something that you choose do to show that person you care. I should have wrote a song with an "aloha" theme!! Well, maybe next time!!
(P.S. - I stayed up REALLY late writing this for you so you can't say that I don't care!!
P.S.S. - I think another song is in the works called "Confessions of a raging psychotic" !!! Hee, hee!!! You know what I mean!! )


~ My Friend ~
When I saw you today
I could tell right away
That you hide behind your smile
I know the pain seems fierce
And it doesn't hold any sign of letting go
But I'm here to show you
That I'll be a friend that's true
And I will stand by your side, abide
And do you trust me? cause I trust you!
I won't give up when you think your through
trying, Dear one, your crying
Don't hide your heart, cause it is free
To seek shelter from the raging storm
I'll keep you warm
Safe from harm
In my arms
Some friends are made fast, too many are gone and past
But I will stay where I belong
I won't be moved
By the trials and tribulations that come our way
Come what may, I'll stay
Your friend, my dear one, to the end
My friend
