My New Best Friend Poem by amanda de la cuz

Today I met a great new friend,
Who knew me right away.
It was funny how she understood,
All I had to say.

She listened to my problems,
She listened to my dreams.
We talked about love and life,
She'd been there too, it seems.

I never once felt judged by her,
She knew just how I felt.
She seemed to just accept me,
And all the problems I'd been dealt.

She didn't interrupt me,
Or have the need to have her say.
She just listened very patiently,
And didn't go away.

I wanted her to understand,
How much this meant to me.
But as I went to hug her,
Something startled me.

I put my arms in front of me,
And went to pull her near.
And realized that my new best friend,
Was nothing but a mirror.
