I only have a few friends,
but those few, who are you,
are very precious to me,
I admire your loving hearts,
and your beautiful souls,
that are kind
and filled with purity.
I love you all because...
each of you can hear
the things
that I do not say,
Because,
you each know
how to love me
in your very own unique
and special way.
Because,
all of you reach-out
to my heart and soul,
Because,
you all come together
to grab my hand
and pull me out,
before I sink
into the recurring
black hole.
Because,
I never have to worry
that any of you
will ever give up on me -
you all, patiently,
tolerate my relentless Anxiety.
Because,
you all really understand
who I truly am,
deep,
deep
down
to the very core
of me--Rosalie!
Because,
any amount of absence
doesn't disintegrate or deteriorate
our friendship,
despite the precious time
that my Anxiety,
slowly, eats away,
Because,
I can feel each of you
thinking about me,
even though you're all busy,
every blessed new day.
Because,
individually,
each of you are the sunshine
that removes the dark clouds
that hover over my head
like a curse,
Because,
together,
you all stand to make up
my entire universe!
Because,
I know
that we were meant to be
a special part
of each other's life journey,
Because,
I feel your genuineness
and honest sincerity,
Because,
we are kindred spirits -
we are soulmates -
we are rare, beautiful souls in tune,
Because,
I am grateful
and most thankful
that we met,
and not a minute too soon!
Because,
without these few,
most valuable, friendships
that I truly do cherish,
Life, on this beautiful, but messy,
chaotic, dog-eat-dog, blessed existence,
would be more than hellish!
I love and appreciate
each and every one of you,
YOU!...who I call "A friend!"
I promise to love you all
unconditionally
until my very last breath,
until the very end!
And, from the hereafter,
infinite love to you all,
I will continue to send!
