You

You came into my life

At the best possible moment

When I am finally at peace

And starting to rediscover

Who I am inside and out

You are there as a friend

And you make me feel safe

To explore all the things

I was afraid of before

You share your crazy stories

And we laugh everyday

I can never seem to stop smiling

Whenever you are there

You are always ready to listen

To my rambling midnight thoughts

Your shoulder is a place

I can always depend upon

To find comfort and sunshine

Despite the many thunderstorms

You are the person

I least expected to find

Someone with heart overflowing

With patience and kindness

You know me better

Than I could ever know myself

And you help me realize

That I can bring out the best in me, too

You are special to me

A friend, a kindred spirit

Someone I will always remember

Your name forever written in my heart

And I am thankful every day

That I met you.
