So Glad That I Met You

(Josie Sayz: I had a six hour training course today, but spent most of it writing these lyrics instead. I dedicate this to someone who means the world to me. He was in my dream last night, which inspired me to write this. I can’t say who he is, because I know people from work read my blog. Anyone who listens to a smidge of what I say could easily put two and two together.)

You called me every day just to ask how I am.
And I made you smile by asking if you are well.
You said no one else cares – didn’t expect me to.
You said I was different, because I thought of you.
We’d talk for so long; I’d ask about your day.
You looked forward to our chats – your cares melted away.
I’m the only one with whom you can be yourself.
We both tried hard to help each other’s mental health.

Thank you for being such a good friend.
I wish our time together never had to end.
Lockdown had been hard, but work was worse on you.
I know leaving to better yourself was something you had to do.
I never could tell you what I kept inside.
The feelings for you, I had to hide.
Making people happy is something special you do.
I’m so sad to see you go, but so glad that I met you.

I sent you a thank you card, to show I appreciated your help.
You made me promise to call you if I get overwhelmed.
I was there for you when your relationship broke down.
I managed to turn your frown upside down.
You managed to convince me to learn the ukulele.
I’ve been writing this song for you – just wait and see.
Because of lockdown restrictions, you and I could not meet.
We spoke of future plans, a fantasy retreat.

Thank you for being such a good friend.
I wish our time together never had to end.
Lockdown had been hard, but work was worse on you.
I know leaving to better yourself was something you had to do.
I never could tell you what I kept inside.
The feelings for you, I had to hide.
Making people happy is something special you do.
I’m so sad to see you go, but so glad that I met you.

All I want to say is thank you for being you.
Now that you’re gone, I know you’ll help others too.
And now you’ve found someone to spend forever with,
I wish you all the happiness – goodbye my friend.

Thank you for being such a good friend.
I wish our time together never had to end.
Lockdown had been hard, but work was worse on you.
I know leaving to better yourself was something you had to do.
I never could tell you what I kept inside.
The feelings for you, I had to hide.
Making people happy is something special you do.
I’m so sad to see you go, but so glad that I met you.
I’m so glad that I met you.
