Hand picked friends

Caring and considerate
Loving and unique
These are the qualities
I will always seek.

Look past make-up
See through looks

Scan with an x-ray, underneath the skin,
find the true person who lies within

We all have natural instincts
to draw us to the light;
to the perfect, special person
who will always treat us right.

You could call them soul-mate,
Some people just say ‘friend’
But it really doesn’t matter
if your love will never end.
