Thank you, friend

Thank you for believing in me
when I found it difficult
to believe in myself
for saying what I've needed
to hear sometimes,
instead of what I've wanted
to hear
for siding with me
and for giving me
another side to consider.

Thank you for opening
yourself up to me
for trusting me with your thoughts
and disappointments and dreams
for knowing you can depend on me
and for asking my help
when you've needed it

Thank you for putting so much
thought and care and imagination
into our friendship
for sharing so many nice times
and making so many
special memories with me.

Thank you for always being honest with me.
Being kind to me, being there for me.

Thank you for being a friend to me
in so many meaningful ways.

I love you, friend
