You are my best friend
An awesome companion
Your heart is soft gold
Filled with kindness, compassion, and understanding
I never took the time to get to know you
I apologize for that
Now that I have gotten to know you,
I am forever grateful for your friendship
Even though you never realize it,
You help me so much
Just by allowing me to talk about my troubles,
You keep me from suicide and pain
And by talking to me about topics,
You make me feel cared about
This is where your understanding and kindness lays
You have opinions and dreams, goals and fears
Compassion is embedded in your nature
You don't turn away from me when I do wrong
But instead you influence me to try harder to behave
We have so much in common
And you don't seem to mind being around me
Our friendship is a steel chain-link fence
And every link is a feeling, idea, though, or fear we have shared
You helped me heal wounds that had been festering for years
I value your opinions, our friendship
Your optimistic ways have soothed my bitterness
I want you to understand how much I care for you
I greatly appreciate everything you've done for me
In my mind, you are truly golden and perfect
