Thank You For Being My Friend

You remind me of someone
I knew a while ago,
They had a sharp wit
And went with the flow.

But they left so quickly
My eyes they did not phase.
I thought I'd be fine,
But my heart was ablaze.

I guaranteed you'd follow
His once sought out course,
But here you are
And making you stay, I don't have to force.

You make me smile,
Life is good when you're around.
You are a close friend;
I am glad it was you I found.

The laughter and tears you've helped mend,
A blessing to me you have been.
I couldn't have done it without you in the end;
Thank you for being my Friend.

Dedicated to A.R.M.
