ode

It seems like we've known
each other forever...
I can't imagine life without you,
You've always been there to support me
whether I needed you to cheer me
or to hold me up.

W'eve spent endless hours engaged
in conversation about
"nothing" and "everything".
I wouldn't trade those times
for anything in the world.
Together w'eve hurt, we've smiled--
we've grown.
We've figured out
the secrets to life--
or tried to,
at least.

Your friendship
means so much to me...
and I hope I can always
be there for you
the way you've always
been for me.
