For all those times 

when I never could,

have managed without

 a friend like you.



For being such a 

constant in my life-

amidst all the changes

the rest of my world 

goes through.



For being remarkable

 in your qualities,

inspiring in your thoughts,

and caring your heart.



For being the one I 

will always feel close to,

whether we're together 

or miles apart.



For being my definition

 of "special."

And for proving 

it over and

over again.



And for all 

the times

I never told

 you before...


I thank you

so dearly

My Friend
