I found a friend I never had
for he liked me and I was glad
then I learned I too liked him
and we were friends from then to sin

I felt so dirty and so I prayed
and then I thought the sin would fade
but it kept coming, and so did he
and then again together we'd be

Until one night I said, "no more"

I felt I did the thing that was right
he tried to persuade me with all his might
but I stuck to my standards - new ones that is
ones that were different and changed from his

Its now been awhile, I'd hoped he'd forgot
but how can one forget all the trouble I bought
I felt so guilty, so helpless, so alone
then I though of the Bishop and picked up the phone

Things still aren't so good, but I'm handling them great
often I wonder and sometimes debate
should I take a chance and tell someone
and danger a friendship to end and be done

She took that chance, then came the test
and if I passed I could handle the rest
it was hard at first cause it blew my mind
but real understanding I soon came to find

It brought us a little closer
at least more so than we were
but things still weren't easy, I found at last
for she didn't believe I could forget the past

But things started to change
it was neat, but it was strange
cause she started to believe me
and so much I started to see

I'd found the friend I've never had
to think if I'd failed made me feel sad
she taught me to laugh, to talk, to cry
the reason being I don't know why

We've been through a lot
and those memories I've still got
I'll keep them always and forever
for no one's been more special, never

The time is coming soon to go different ways
I've been dreading this time for days and days
this feeling inside leaves me empty and alone
for I must say good-bye to the first person I've really known
