My New Best Friend *its not what you think*

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 & life
she'd been there two, it seems.

I never once felted judged my her
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.
