Who Would Have Thought?

For Sparky

Who would have thought
I would find you like I did?
In the depths of cyberspace
Where I often hit.

Who would have thought
Such a close friend you could get?
When they didn't know your real name
Or how you looked just yet.

Who would have thought
I could share everything with you?
Family friends and problems
Boys and houses too?

Who would have thought
That you would be my friend?
Kilometres and years the difference
And yet my heart you can mend.

Who would have thought
I would find you like I did?
In the depths of cyberspace
Where I often hid.

You found me
A troubled teenager
Awkward adult
And showed me who I could be.
You nurtured me,
Loved me
And gave all you had
Never asking anything for yourself
And never getting mad.

Who would have thought
I would need you like I to?
My brightest, dearest friend,
I really do love you.
