# To My True Friend

You are here  

You are always here for me  

No matter what my mood is  

No matter how I look today

I am sad and you are here  

I am happy and you are here  

You never judged me  

You never betrayed

I made mistakes. You were patient  

You never threw a tantrum  

You never left me  

You were always open

You just waited for me to come  

You accepted me in my beauty and my weirdness  

You accepted me in my smartness and my goofiness  

You accepted me in my best and my worst

Through days and nights.

How beautiful and sad our relationships are.

You made me weird in some ways  

But I love these quirks in me  

They always were there  

But I’m safe having them

You saved me multiple times in my life.  

I owe you so much.  

You protected me.  

You are my foundation.  

You gave me the base on which to start exploration.  

I feel safe because of you.

I’m ready for more.  

Thank you, my friend.  

I value you.  

It will always be like that.
