So faithful you’ve been,
So loving and patient you’ve been
As the years have drifted by.
Looking into your eyes now
I see the trueness of your dedication;
Of your love.
You were there when no one else cared,
When no one else listened.
You’ve given me so much more
Than companionship.
You’ve instilled in me the
Determination that I can be loved,
That I am not beyond reach,
I can thrive
And I deserve happiness.
This and so much more,
You’ve taught me throughout our lives.
Sitting next to you now,
It pains me beyond belief
To imagine my life without you,
For you are forever a part of my soul,
Dear friend of mine.
