You often
Come into my mind
When I’m least
Expecting it

I don’t know
Why this is so
Maybe
A memory
A feeling
A need to connect
On a deeper level

Then today
I find myself
Thinking about you again
And I realized why

I’m feeling lost
Or a sense of loss
And my mind
Has wandered
Back into the past
Remembering those times
When you cried with me
When no one else would
Comforted me
During unimaginable times
Regardless of how much
We had bickered
Earlier in the day

I will be forever
Grateful
Honored
To call you friend

Thank you
Dear dear friend
Thank you
For being you
