A message to the one who has stood by me;
From our first awkward words I knew my life had changed.
A change I never expected to be as beautiful as it has been.
A six year journey that has transformed my life;
A friend who has been there through it all;
Always understanding even when I do not.
In the moment of my greatest failure she was the one who picked me up.
Staring at the sky wishing my star would fade;
I continued only because I could not hurt her.
With a silent hand she guided me to a safe place.
Times she could have left were many.
Showing unparalleled honor she stayed for reasons I shall never know.
My greatest triumph it was her who gave the first praise.
The person I have become I owe to her.
For this I give my unconditional love.
