Your smile struck up the chords in my heart,
The music that was just waiting to start.
I couldn't believe that life could be like this.
Innocent, true unadulterated bliss.
My singing is never in tune- always off key,
Yet each melody just wants to be let free.
Is this the part where the poem goes sour?
Where the negative emotions overpower?
The song is being played an octave higher,
This anxiety makes my brain feel on fire.
Yet despite the tattered state of my mental health,
You stayed by my side, waited for me to be myself.
This platonic love is fuel for my being,
I've waiting so long for something so freeing.
There are ups and downs,
Just like any relationship with renown.
But we know how to pick each other up,
Whether with a hug or a coffee filled cup.
Our friendship to me will always be so precious,
Even if there are many miles between us.
On my life you have been so impactful,
And do that I will be forever thankful.
