How did you know

How did you know I needed you?
I thought my heart has died
old friends were getting far and few
but you were by my side

You laughed and cried along with me
I started to love again
but there was something we couldn't see
someone was closing in

She almost succeeded, but we hung on
together we fought right back
intentions and promises it seemed were gone
but our friendship we didn't lack

A lot of time has come and passed
and none for even a walk
still in my heart I know at last
we'll have an eternity to talk
