Friend

Darkness like midnight
Moonless there's no light
Another lonely day
Is ending

Searching forever
Waiting but never finding
The only thing
I dream of

The warmth of a smile
That stays for a while
The face of a friend
That won't leave

I heard a song once
It posed this point of view
That wishes made on stars
Are likely to come true

So here's my secret
At bedtime every night
I searched the sky
And hoped to find

A star who'd send a light
To me

The one thing I need

Just one kind soul
With a heart of gold
Then my dreams became real
And I finally feel
Not alone

Do hugs always make you feel this warm?

My wish came true
That day that you appeared
And called me friend

An answered prayer
A chance to
Share the world
To be a girl

Who fin'lly felt alive

I'm so excited
We'll do so many friendship things
Paint our nails
Try on clothes
Talk about cute boys

Attached but not
By strings

And when you've got problems
Woah!
Then I've got problems too
You'll never face this world alone
I'll be right here
It's you

And me

Protectors of each other's
What we'll be

You saw my soul
Through the nuts and bolts
You're the friend I can trust
Helped me see I'm not just a machine

And is this what all the feels means?

I've been combat-ready since
The day dad made me
Now I'll fight for
Something more
Might sound wholesome
But strangely
I've got friends
Fighting for

But I found that humanity
It came with sacrifice
A pact
To shield you from the
Wicked even if I can't
Live for real
It was worth it to know you

My wish came true
The day that you appeared

And called me a friend

An answered prayer
A chance to
Share the world
To be a girl
Who fin'lly felt alive
