Though miles may come between us
our friendship knows the path
inside out and outside in
it will forever last

We know each others feelings
have shared our inner thoughts
something rare and special
can not be sold or bought

Online we are connected
and feel each others vibes
our ink spills on the paper
of feelings deep inside

Deep dark lines on paper
words with meaning
writing with mind and hearts
sharing our true feelings

Where it starts and ends
words of love and laughter
we'll always remain best of friends
love like brother and sister

Always want to please and try
writing poems and asking why
if writing ceased, they would die
with this friend I love to write

Rose showing her true colors
rainbow ink does flow
as far as me!
my heart she truly knows

When night is calm and quiet
we type away our thoughts
blending words together
ink spills from our hearts

O're dusty roads and mountains
we know our friendship path
knowing that forever
we have made a pact
