Posting for a Friend - My Best Friend

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire

You come to me, come to me wild and wired

Oh, you come to me, give me everything I need

Give me a life time of promises and a world of dreams

Speak the language of love like you know what it means

Mm, and it can't be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, babe

You're simply the best, better than all the rest

Better than anyone, anyone I ever met

I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say

Tear us apart, baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day

In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away

Just as long here in your arms I could be in no better place

You're simply the best, better than all the rest

Better than anyone, anyone I ever met

I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say

Tear us apart, baby, I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me I start losing control

You're walking away with my heart and my soul

I can feel you even when I'm alone

Oh, baby, don't let go

You're the best, better than all the rest

Better than anyone, anyone I ever met

I'm stuck on your heart

I hang on every word you say

Tear us apart

Baby I would rather be dead

Oh you're the best*

I started this post with these lyrics 2.5 years ago.**  The post has stayed incomplete - in "draft." I suspect I began writing after watching two young lovers on a hit television series*** serenade each other - one with a very quiet and heartfelt rendition while the other lip-synced to the hard-driving version by Tina Turner. Both were beautiful, emotional. 

And of course, as I often do, I shared them with DH (probably more than once - why not?). Little did I know.

Simply the best. He was.

He was not big on dancing, but we always had fun (I'm sure he was giggling here.

[I love how "centered" the lyrics resemble a whirlwind.]
