I remember the first time I opened up to you,
Many would hear me, who would listen were very few,
You didn't say a single word, I didn't expect you to, anyway,
How comforting silence could be, I realized that very day.

I knew I found the perfect friend, I could let my guard down,
Someone who would be there till the end, to cherish my every smile and to comfort my every frown,
My first date, my graduation, the simple girl who stole my heart,
I couldn't wait to pour my heart out to you, even when I knew things were falling apart.

These days, I don't share my stories with you, the fault is all mine,
I've been a little busy, don't worry, I'm doing just fine,
As I turn the last page, I promise to return with the same morale,
Dear Diary, thanks for being my one-sided pen pal.
