Thank you for the kindness
that you have shown me.
Thank you for the affection
which you have given me.
Thank you for caring
when no one else did.
Thank you for sharing 
as much as you have.
Thank you for being there
when I needed someone to talk to.
Thank you for understanding
the way that I am.
Thank you for believing 
in me.

But most of all,
Thank you
just for being you,
and
Thank you
for being
my friend.

Know that,
wherever you go,
when you need me,
I will be there,
beside you all the way.
