True Friend

I feel your eyes on me as I talk to him
I turn to see … that all knowing grin
Why can’t you see he is only a friend?
A confidant when I’ve reached the ropes end

He never has once the border crossed
For fear of our friendship to ever be lost
He listens with ears that never falter
Steady as the rock known as Gibraltar

Yes he loves me it’s plain to see
…he thinks that’s blind to you and me
He is always there to listen, to care…
Turn away… please don’t’ stare

Walk away, leave this alone
your true feelings are better not known
to me is more than “just a man”
he is a true friend….
Something you will never understand!
