I waited for him to come
Like I knew he would be there
But instead the steps went left
Leaving me at the right
No fight in sight
I walked away optimistic
Looking for the cure
Ready to leap
The risk it takes to fall
The risk it takes to get back up
I still had hope
So beautiful
So true
So one of a kind
So why am I standing here?
Without you in line?
I looked for him but I realized he had passed
He was never meant to last
So I stood still
And I saw you
Standing there
You became what I needed to see
Someone who always believed in me
Never spoke a negative word
Never saw me as other than amazing
You have always been since we met
My healing friend
Someone like you should never be forgotten
I see you when you don’t want to be seen
I’m with you when you’re afraid to dream
You are something special
Not just on special days
But everyday over the years
You’ve been a friend
A fine example of a man
For that I cherish you
Because of you
I still believe.
