Because of you,
the world is different somehow.
Because of you,
smiles come so much easier.
Because you took the time to reach into my
lonely heart,
overlooking all the selfish, weak things
you must have seen there
to bring into the light
every beautiful part of me
that no one else had even tried to find.
Because of the selfless love
(that you give so freely),
because you became my hero
when you found everything I wanted to be
right there inside of me,
because you bring out the best in me
and help me to look for the best in others,
I can see why your friendship is sought after
by all who come within your presence.
That's your magic...
you make my world better
without the slightest effort...
just by being yourself.
Perhaps, that is what being a friend means after all
