A Friend Is All I Want

A friend is all I want,
A friend is all I need,
A friend who can,
Make me feel less incomplete.


A friend who is always ‘there’,
Not ‘here today, gone tomorrow’,
A friend who can share,
All my joys and all my sorrow.


A friend who will stand by me
Even if I ask for something wrong,
Because, that friend knows just what it is,
To feel having loved and lost.


Because this friend knows,
The way I think and feel.
The way I dread any threat;
What my friendship means to me.


A friend who can understand
My need to feel needed,
A friend who can tolerate,
My constant nagging and teasing.


It may be a lot to ask for,
In this day and age,
But if I find that friend somewhere,
I would never again be incomplete.

I would never cry again at night,
Without any reason,
I’d be less unhappy, insecure, guilty and lousy;
Perhaps I’d feel less like a loser, if I had that friend with me.


A friend is all I want,
A friend is all I need,
A friend who can,
Make me feel COMPLETE.
