Looking for a Friend
I am looking for a friend
No, not a girlfriend
Someone to laugh with
To talk with
Someone to sit beside with
I am looking for a friend
No, not a girlfriend
God will provide our lifetime partners
But I still need someone now I can call on to
In my hours of need
In my hours of despair
Or even in just hours
When nobody is there
I am looking for a friend
No, not advice
A listening ear is enough
A caring heart is enough
Just someone to be there
Someone who’ll care
In my hours of tribulation
Loneliness and desperation
I am looking for a friend
No, not an activity
It is not what I do that brings me enjoyment
It is who I do it with
Even if we just talk for hours
That would be enough
I am looking for a friend
To tame me
And be with me
Know everything about me
As I do the same
Are you looking for a friend?
No, not a boyfriend
Someone to relay your heartscreams
Your secrets or your dreams
Maybe we are looking for each other
If so, contact me
I would like to hear from you
- A. L. E. -
“… said the little prince. “I am looking for friends. What does that mean – ‘tame’?”
“It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. “It means to establish ties.”
“‘To establish ties’?”
“Just that,” said the fox. “To me you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world…”
- The Little Prince, chapter 11, page 64, Antoine de Saint Exupery, as translated from French by Katherine Woods
