My Dear Friend

My dear friend, what ails you?
You seem lost and confused.
Ah, it is love.
You are unsure if it is him.
Don't worry dear friend for when he comes,
you shall know it is him.

Moonlight will fill his footsteps as he walks to you.
Strength and spirit will course through your entwined bodies.
His lips will be as soft as rose petals during sunrise.
And his laugh, ah, his laugh!
It shall fill the air with rich, round joy.

And do not fret for the snakes of lies,
nor the bears of treachery that try and enter your heart's castle.
I will be your castle wall and defend you from them.

But what happens when I am in love?
My dear friend, I shall not.
You laugh my dear friend,
you do not want to beleive me.
But listen dear friend, for I tell the truth!
My love is not here on this world.
It is waiting for me once my mission is done.
And my mission dear friend,
Is to be the guardian of my friends.

Alas, it is a hard job,
But someone has to do it.
The work pays off though,
when I see you smile at him,
with that trusting look in your eyes.
And when you tell me,
"he is the one".

So do not worry my friend,
he will come.
He will come with his moonlight footsteps
and his rose petal lips.
And his smile that you will talk about forever.
And that magnificent laugh,
which fills the air and your heart
with rich, round joy.

You will know my dear friend,
you will know.
