From strangers, to friends, to close friends, to best friends.
And beyond.
I've never been sorry for any step we've taken together,
no, not even for the fall I took alone.
I never knew, before knowing you, how empty my life had been.
I thought I was happy. I thought I was successful.
I thought I had known love and all that love can bring.
and what you brought into my life can never be assessed.
We are so very different, you and I. And yet so much the same.
And our differences merge with our similarities,
giving rise to something special and unique.
We talk.
Of all the things I value about this thing that is us,
and there are so many I often lose count,
I value most the way we talk about any thing any time any where.
And each time I listen to you, each time I ponder what you've said,
I learn something new. About you. About me. About the world.
I've learned to trust in your instincts.
I love the vitality and zest that is so much a part of you.
I treasure that spark of spirit in you,
It's easy to see how much you love life,
even when life is sometimes less than lovable,
and that love is always mirrored in your eyes and smile.
I love the way you trust in me, with deepest thoughts
often shared by you in a time of vanting
I could always tell when you need me most
you truat me
with your secrets, with your feelings, with yourself.
You'll never know how much that trust has meant to me.
I love the way you understand me too well.sometimes how well you know my thoughts, my feelings, my moods,
frightening at times how closely our lives have become
You know so much of me, secrets I've never told,
thoughts I've never shared, parts of me I've never let anyone near
You've discovered a window into my soul
a window I never show to most
It's almost as if our two souls have merged into one,
almost as if the faites showed us the way
I like that way may trust each other and never once think
of hurting each other
I'm not blinded by my love, though, and know you are not perfect.
You are impatient and sometimes you get moody
but in your defence so do i
your a forgiving heart
You allow the stresses of life to mold your day,
allow the commitments of life to shape your way.
I know your imperfections as well as your perfections,
know we both have faults yet we manage to see the best in one another
And I find I love you no matter what you may do
but as much because of them as anything else.
Your life has touched mine.
My friendship with you, my love for you,
all that you are and aren't,
have changed my life in ways i cant explain
in ways I could never describe in depth.
The gentle breeze, blowing softly through the leaves,
has worked her wondrous magic,
transforming the one she touched.
As much as you've altered my present, though,
the effect you've had on my future is just as great.
I once thought I knew what love meant to me,
once thought I had experienced all that life had to offer.
I lived and I loved, and I hurt and I grew,
and I believed I could never find a trust friend like you again
In learning to trust again I discovered I can with you
I wondered why I felt so empty. So hurt.
You changed that, as you've changed so much else.
You taught me how to trust and see the real me
I wish you knew the me of before,
as you know so well the me of today,
so you could see the difference knowing you has made.
You've changed my life in so many ways,
in ways small and ways important,
in ways you'll never know nor understand.
The impact you've had on me,
on the way I feel and think and act,
thanks to you i can trust again
thankyou for being you
