My New Best Friend

Author Unknown

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 here
   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 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 nearer
And realized that my new best friend
   Was nothing but a mirror
