"A True Friend"

You listened
When I talked about him.

You read
My lovesick and unrequited love poems.

You saw
My sad tears.

You comforted me
When Chris and I broke up.
As well as when I cried over Lane.

You were happy
When I was happy.

You are a true friend.

There’s no one like you.
No one could take place.

I look forward to seeing you
Every single day.

You assured me
That life would go on.

You told me
That life would get better.

Life does go on
Life is better
All because you told me it would.

You are one true friend
Always and forever till the end.
