Love came to me
through the smile of my friend
when all the trees stood silent.
I knew his heart,
he knew me better than myself,
we shared sorrows and dreams,
and a pond in the garden.
Love came to me
through the smile of my friend
on a winter evening.
His eyes seemed brighter
and his voice deeper.
As he called my name,
my heart felt like singing.
Love came to me
through the smile of my friend,
and the winter got warmer.
As we walked together
in the quiet village,
the whole world seemed kinder.
