I know where I stand

My friend, during the time that I’ve known you,
All I’ve ever felt is love,
You’ve never been horrible or hurtful,
And you’ve never gone off in a huff,
You’ve always been honest and told me,
Exactly how you feel,
You’ve never misled or lied to me,
And nothing have you tried to conceal.

You’ve accepted the way that I feel about you,
And given me time to adjust,
You’ve given me hope and understanding,
And you’ve given to me your trust,
I know that you’re a woman who’s straight down the line,
And you’ve shown me the truth,
With your caring and generous mind.

With you I am also so open,
I couldn’t hurt you nor do you wrong,
I know where I stand, I’m just your good friend,
But one who has tried to be strong,
I know that you’re so special,
An angel from outer space,
You always try to help your friends,
With a smile upon your face.

Even when I’ve been childish,
So silly and insecure,
You’ve always built up my trust,
With words to help me feel sure,
You know in your mind and you are confident,
That what you do is usually right,
I feel your strength passing through me,
And you’ve corrected my faltering sight.

Our friendship is pure and simple,
It has grown so much from the start,
You’ve shown to me that you mean what you say,
You’ve proved that from your heart,
In you I will always trust, and listen to what you say,
And to you I will always be nice,
No matter how bad my day.
