Here is to the girl** that thinks she is alone.
Who believes every guy is going to leave because her so-called father did when she was young.
Who does not know how much her family and friends love her.

Here is to the girl that does not know how beautiful she is.
Who is beautiful for her thoughts and words that she keeps hidden from the world.
Who lights up the room when she walks in with that smile of hers.

Here is to the girl who does not think she is smart.
Who has to listen to her family belittle and berate her.
Who is actually brilliant enough to believe that there is more to life than school and grades.

Here is to the girl who has become my best friend.
Who accepts who I am, even my flaws.
Who loves and  protects me like I am one of her sisters.
