Partner in Crime

You greet me with a smile, and leave me with a kiss.
Wishing things could be different, my story that is.

I find comfort in your arms, a challenge in your mind.
Pleasure in your presence, though I’ve only known you a short time.

I look forward to the many adventures that our friendship will bring.
There is no limit to what this will be.
Trusting and strong, through thick and thin.
Never turning my back on you, for you are my partner in crime.

Always wishing to show you the silver linings in life, but also respecting you enough to tell you the truth when it is bad. You are my equal, my partner in crime.

Being a realist I am resigned to the truth.
Regret is my shadow following me with no escape.

One day this part of our relationship will end.
You will go your way and I will go mine.
This part of our story will be just a part of your past.

My one hope is that you recognize the rarity of this friendship and don’t let it die.
As I said you are my partner in crime.

You greet me with a smile, and will leave me with a kiss.
Although I wish my story could be different, I am thankful for this …….

No matter the roads we take in life, a true friend you will always have in me.
