An Ode to The Best Friend

"There’s no escaping and no denying, I must admit it’s true

I could never, ever love another as much as I love you.

You’ve helped me to see things clearly,

Softer and far more tender than ever before,

You’ve taught me, told me, inspired me, showed me.

Every day that passes, I can love you only more.

You’ve held my hand and listened as I’ve bawled and screamed and cried.

You’ve embraced me when I needed it the most, and calmed the wounded beast that was hurting inside.

You were patient and kind, never once did you mind when I thought I had lost my faith in it all.

I knew you’d understand and be there for me.

Never once did you let me fall.

In you I have found my best of friends,

You are more than I could ask.

To describe the indescribable Is now my most formidable task.

I value each time we've shared together But as our days turn to months and years,
I see memories replacing those beautiful time that pass just like a water in the river.

Always remember to never forget, That the best is yet to come, my dear."
