I can't wave a magic wand and fix you, make all of your problems disappear like a rabbit in a hat, but I can be here for you, always, and I will be. I'll be here for you when you're too stubborn to admit that, because let me remind you that you're not alone. I'm with you and many people are, all you have to do is ask.
I'll be here for you when you just want to stay in bed. I'll be here for you when you don't want to hear about the nice things going on in everyone else's life. I'll be here and I won't try to lighten your darkness, or steep happiness into your sadness. I'll let you feel what you're feeling and I'll just be here to listen. I'll be here waiting with acceptance, not judgement.
Because we all get lost and we all doubt ourselves, but let me remind you that we can get lost together or find our way together.
I know that I can't master some hypnotic power to make you realize that certain people aren't good for you, that you and your life would feel so much better without them.
I can't make the bad people go away, but I can be here for you when they continue to come back. I can be here for you when they create destruction, and I'll be here for when you're left alone to clean it up.
Because let me remind you that I'll never get tired of rooting for you, even when you mess up, even when you don't have anything to say, I'll still be there and I'll be your biggest fan.
I'll be here for you when bad people make you feel like you don't deserve anything good in life. I'll be here for you when those bad people try to take all the good things away.
I'll be here when you feel their words like bruises on your skin. When you play them on repeat inside your head.
I'll be here when those words leave scars that are far too deep for any band-aid to cover up. I'll be there, ready to remind you of all the things that you are and all the things that you can be.
I'll be here to take your mind away from it all, even if it's just for the day, for an hour of back and forth texting, for a 40 second FaceTime
that reminds you, you are loved, to remind you just how wonderful you are.
I'll be here for you even when I hate you. When you break my trust or when I cancel plans at the last minute, I'll be here.
When you choose your boyfriend or other friends over me, I'll be here just as much. Even when, God forbid, you make me feel horrible, I'll love you and be here for you.
Because you could've easily walked away, but you decided to say. Because I'm here to remind you that our friendship is stronger, our friendship is real and because my world is better when you're in it.
I can't fix you. I can't fix the way you see yourself. I can't fix your life, your problems, your relationships. I can't fix any of these things.
I want to, but I can't.
So instead, I'll just be here, because you reminded me how to let someone in again, how to call someone a friend.
Because you reminded me of how good friendships start and how you get that feeling in your heart that it will last.
Because I love you and that's what you do for the ones you love.
So Here's to you— For I know that I have found a soul friend.
