Analysis of A Special Friend

Tonya Richardson 1968 (Mississippi)



Every time I see you smile I wish is could say it was because of me. Every time I look into your eyes, deep in your heart I wish I could see, if anywhere inside there is a sign of me. Every time I hear you laugh I want to shout out loud, “I Love You” and of that I’m very proud. I only hope you realize how much you mean to me, and to me you are the very best that a friend could ever be.
