It started out as just a hug and grew into a kiss, A friendship that had blossomed up to more than I could wish. You are my shining star at night; you help me find my way. You are my inspiration directing me each day. See, when I fall and need a hand, you always pick me up, And when I cry and need a friend, you're there no matter what. I wish I were just like you: strong-hearted, brave, and sweet. I'm glad I have a friend like you to make my life complete. You're a very special person. I'm glad that you're my friend, For when I need a little advice, You always have some to lend. You help me when I am troubled, Feeling down and out- I never have to say what's wrong. You seem to know what I'm all about. I can always tell you my feelings Without having you put me down. You're the person I can turn to When no one else is around. I can cry on your shoulder When things are going wrong. You give me a smile And help me to be strong. You seem to understand me. After all that we've gone through, I only have one thing to say... Thanks for being YOU I don't know how to say this, but I thank you very much for always being there for me, your gentle, friendly touch. Thank you. You helped me to get better and stop what I regret. You helped me through the hard times that I can't forget. Thank you. You listened to my problems in a kind and caring way, and without you, I may not be smiling today. Thank you. I trust you with my secrets that no one has been told. I trust you with my feelings, and I'll remember your words until I'm grey and old. Thank you
