I woke up in pain, brewed java, took pain killer
Lily came into the office and sat beside me
Turned on the Music, “Take the load off, Mandy”
Stared out into the darkness
Thought I am the only person awake in the world
“Close your eyes, girl, look inside, girl”
Felt a chill in the air, turned on the heater
Remembered drug days, the good and bad…

“It’s hard to find a friend” (Tom Petty)
but when you do, it’s like a treasure
that will never leave you
that will understand you
that will accept you
that will not lord it over you
that will walk beside you
through thick and thin
