I Just Need You Today................ Poem by Bradley Lester

I need a friend today so bad, the news I have is true
I'm feeling kinda sad and want to share the news with you
It's hard for me to keep it in, I so much want to say
But I am scared my friend that you will turn and walk away

I do not know if I should say what's on my mind each day
We've shared a lot both me and you, I hope you're here to stay
I cannot think of someone else to who knows me like you do
My friend so far but yet so close, our friendship quite so true

To turn to you is comforting, you make me feel so warm
You face, your being, your simple words can calm the strongest storm
You give to me that special thing, you are my special friend
I thank you friend, you'll always be, until the very end
