Friends were made out of you and me,
When we sat down under that giant tree,
The true friendship that you gave me,
I’ll cherish it for my lifetime if not for eternity.

My friend, I’m sorry if you think that I don’t see,
And value those simple things you do for me,
But the truth is I always keep them with me,
I say these words to you with all authenticity.

Arigatou Tomodachi! You know how much I love thee,
You are my source of happiness and prosperity,
When I am sad, you’re always there to comfort me,
And likewise, we help each other in times of difficulty.

Friends were made out of you and me,
When we sat down under that giant tree,
The true friendship that you gave me,
I’ll cherish it for my lifetime if not for eternity.

Seeing you was like a sunny day
In contrast to my other days
Which were complete storms.

You helped me through those wicked storms;
Helped me fight through the heavy rain.
You brought me to my feet again.

I wouldn't say that this poem can explain
The thanks that I have toward you
And the personality that gave me life.

Your words, the beat behind them-
They had completely perfect timing.
I was nearly at my breaking point.

You brought me back to life.
You gave me the opportunity to save myself
From the darkness that poisoned me.

You lifted me above the clouds
Where storms were invisible
And I was close to touching heaven.

Arigatou, arigatou-
This is all I can give to you.
Although I want to give you it all.

I would give you my life,
All because you've saved mine
And recovered my imagination.

I would leave this world happily,
Although I don't want to anymore,
All because you stood in front of me.

You may explain tragedies within your lyrics
But that is a life you've overcome.
And for that I envy you.

I envy your determination
To "make tomorrow
A brighter and better day."

You were my light
In the complete darkness of this world.
I couldn't have asked for anyone else.

I would have never stood straight again,
Be placed upon my feet again,
Without your whispers in my mind.

*Arigatou.
