A NEW WORD
We need a new word
A word for how you feel about someone
that you want to hang around with all of the time
I mean really want to be with every night and day
A word for that feeling that makes your heart sing
every time you see them
Causes a warm smile to rise every time you think of
them
Love doesn’t quite do it anymore
it has been battered and bruised and bled too often
A word for that feeling that where you meet them is
in a land of
acceptance, filled with air so light that fear cannot
breathe it
Friend won’t do, even though
friends are people you can count on, and who can count on
you,
And brother this and brother that, or sister this and
sister that are now used by people who have nothing
more in common than a perceived common enemy
No, we need a new word
Something as fresh and clean and bright and pure and
as innocent as a baby’s chortling laugh
Yes we need a new word and we need it bad
I sure hope we don’t find it
