you always listen.
even when perhaps you don’t want to.
but you always do,
you never make it known that you don’t.
and I thank you.
from the bottom of my heart,
with all I have to give,
I thank you.
you respect me,
you look out for me,
you’re always there to listen.
I’m lucky to know you,
to have you in my life.
not everyone is as fortunate,
to have someone like you.
I needed to share,
and only you would listen.
you taught me what kindness is,
what it’s like to receive it selflessly.
I wish I could repay you,
in words or gifts or time.
but frankly nothing can ever match
the gentleness you’ve bestowed on me.

Would you miss me would you cry
If suddenly I were to die
How would you remember me
And would you write me poetry
Would you miss our daily chats
And all the fun that we begat
Would you have any regrets
Would you wish that we had met
Would you keep me in your heart
Remembering my works of art
Would you mourn your special friend
If suddenly my life would end
