Thank you for being you,
For letting me be me,
For making every moment together
Feel like home so easily.

Thank you for never asking
Me to hide or pretend,
For knowing the real me
And loving me as my friend.

Thank you for laughing with me,
In my happiest times,
For listening with open arms,
Even when my words don't rhyme.

Thank you for understanding me
When no one else could,
For staying, when leaving
Might have seemed easier, but you stood.

Thank you,
For letting me vent and cry,
For being the only person I trust
When my heart feels shy.

Thank you for being the light
That makes the world feel less cold,
For holding onto me so tight,
And never letting go.

I don't say this enough, but I love you
More than words can show,
College would shine so much brighter
If only you were here.

Thank you for staying,
When you didn't have to at all,
You're the best part of my life,
The one who catches me when I fall.

And though I may not say it often,
I miss you every day,
You've become my home
Please don't ever go away.
