thank you friend

Quiet and nonsocial
Withdrawing myself from my friends
Heartbroken, crushed, and torn
A feeling of loss that’s overwhelming

Then a spark of hope
I started talking to you
Keeping sentences short
Letting you talk more than myself

The heartbreak lifts a little
A newfound friend
Someone who immediately sees me for who I am
Someone so much like myself and the love I lost

Someone so kind
Pulling me gently out of the darkness
Helping me to feel more comfortable with myself
I feel that i can finally be happy once again

Everyone notices my mood has changed
That I’ve gone back to my normal self
They all think I’ve finally gotten over the hurt
But I haven’t, you’ve just helped to dull the pain

I feel free again
Like a huge weight has been lifted
I’m no longer afraid to be myself around anyone
I’m getting closer to my friends again

I can finally be happy once again
I now have just as many friends as I used to
No longer do I avoid everyone for fear of getting hurt
And it’s all thanks to you

So thank you for being my friend
For being there when I need you
To hold me when I’m upset
And to show me that everything will be ok
Because in the end it will
So thank you.....

For everything
