Analysis of A Close Friend



As I always do,
I'll pray that all your dreams come true.
A close friend of mine I met on the net,
Whom I think of everyday,
whose warmth feels always new.
My friend may live far away,
But is no less precious to me,
On each other our eyes lay,
Encouraging to be all that we can be.
