Deep and simple
loving, caring
strong, independent
insightful, intuitive
wise beyond years
each layer shared
a gift I cherish
giving, forgiving
with a heart so beautiful
I sometimes stand in awe
a soul that touches mine
makes me feel at home
with her I want to tear down all
that stands in the way of love
beautiful, inspiring
a smile and laugh
that cause ripples of joy
to fill me
she sees right through me
warts and all
and I'm the lucky one
that she calls friend
