Penny for a Poem

North Star

I am your friend, a constant in your life's grand play, a quiet presence, steady as the breaking of day.
My love for you stretches across the distant sky, unspoken, yet as vast as the stars up high. I watch you grow, evolve, and sometimes stumble, my heart swells with pride, then aches when you crumble.
But I remain silent, my feelings tucked away, a secret garden where unspoken words hold sway.
From afar, I celebrate your victories, however small, and in your darkest hours, I long to catch your fall.
But our friendship is a delicate balance, you see, a tightrope walk between what is and what could be.
So I stand on the sidelines, your most loyal fan, cheering you on, supporting every plan. In your triumph, I rejoice; in your sorrow, I ache, every emotion of yours, my heart does partake.
When storm clouds gather and shadows loom, know that I'm here, dispelling the gloom.
A lighthouse in the distance, a beacon in the night, ready to guide you towards comfort and light.
I may not hold your hand or wipe away your tears, but my thoughts are with you, calming your fears.
In laughter and joy, in sorrow and pain, my unwavering support will always remain.
This love I harbor, it asks for nothing in return, content to be the flame that quietly burns.
It fuels my desire to see you shine bright, to help you soar to your greatest height.
So lean on me, friend, when the world feels too much, I'll be your rock, your anchor, your crutch.
Though miles may stretch between where we stand, I'm here in spirit, extending my hand.
In the tapestry of your life, I may not be the brightest thread, but I'm woven throughout, in the lines left unsaid.
A friend who loves you, constant and true, always here, always near, always there for you.
Remember, in moments both vibrant and gray, that someone out there loves you each day.
And though this love might never be more, it's a steadfast presence, forevermore.
So go forth bravely, chase your wildest dreams, know you're cherished more than it seems.
I am your friend, loving you from afar, but always here, as constant as the North Star.
