Day 24 – Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs.

I decided to do a playlist for my best friend, Cindy. I struggled a little with this one. So many of the songs that I would have chosen made it sound like we are romantically involved, which we are not. I know that society all too often doesn't understand that soulmates are not necessarily lovers and that emotional intimacy is possible without sex. Rather than explaining why I chose these two particular songs, I thought I'd let their lyrics speak for themselves.

You're My Best Friend – Queen

You're the best friend

that I've ever had

I've been with you such a long time

You're my sunshine

and I want you to know

that my feelings are true

I really love you

you're my best friend

Thank You for Being a Friend – Andrew Gold

… and when we both get older

with walking canes and hair of grey

have no fear even though it's hard to hear

I will stand real close and say

Thank you for being a friend.
