I thank you dear friend

Who cares what jealous mouths may say,

with a friend like you I know I'll always find a way.

A holding hand always holding mine,

and though I am not worthy, stay with me for all time.

When I stray too far, and I'm lost and confused,

you're the one that brings me back with your gentle hands.

And in my quest to find myself, you've helped so much,

you are a big part of me, there is no doubt.

If I were to lose every friend but one,

I wish it were you standing beside me, helping me through.

And if for some sad twist of fate you decide to go,

you will forever stay in my heart, for it has been touched by your beautifully soul.

But who am I to deserve such a friend?

I am but a mere human trying to find my way.

What must I have done to make God so proud?

What is it that has brought me to you?

Although I ask myself these questions often,

I know I shouldn't waste my time seeking anises.

Instead of questioning why you are a friend of mine,

I should smile and rejoice, and not let this opportunity pass me by.

Deep inside I know that I shouldn't relive the past,

that I should forget those memories that didn't even last,

but I can't help but drown in the memories of a past I can't replace,

but you always come to the rescue, and with simple words you pull me out.

And even though I know I shouldn't keep everything inside,

It is what I have always done,

but here I am talking about my feelings, letting it all out,

but to you, for some unknown reason, it's as simple as it can be.

So now I thank you with all my heart,

and as much as wish you don't brake it all apart,

and know that I could find comfort in the fact that I got to see that smile, got to see those eyes,

got to know a person I am proud to say 'that is a friend of mine'.
