climbing up that mountaintop

Sometimes I want a friend.
A friend who makes me laugh at walls.
A friend who can't be seen or heard.
A friend who puts my jealousy at rest.
A friend who walks in the dark alleys,
and crawls through my window at night.
A friend who comforts me in the worst of times and expects nothing.
A friend who hasn't heard "that" song before.
A friend who see's me for everything i want to be,
and everything I'm not.
Sometimes I want a friend who listens to ghosts from the past,
and tells me their secrets of better times.
A friend who doesn't blame me for taking the last drink.
A friend who walks with me on the long road home from broken hearts.
Sometimes I want a friend who can quietly put an arm over me,
while I cry behind closed doors from another life lost.
A friend who can watch the same sun coming from behind the mountains on those long drives home.
A friend to dance those 80's songs to when your at the bar with everyone, but yourself.
A friend to kiss under perfect moonlit skies only meant for chosen eyes.
Sometimes I want a friend who can't give me everything I want,
But everything I need.
Other times I just want to be alone.
Other times I wait for someone.
Other times I wait for anyone.
