I'm dedicating this poem to my incredible best friend (well, one of my best friends).... We haven't been friends all that long, relatively-speaking, but I'm glad we're so close now! I thank her so so much for putting up with me, and for showing me that true friends should be ones who actually want to hang out with me, who actually enjoy spending time with me instead of keeping me around only when convenient for them. I thank her for texting me for hours when I'm upset, and not leaving until I'm okay again, even if it's inconvenient for her. I thank this friend for knowing ME, for paying such close attention that she can tell when I'm upset deep down, when most people are fooled by the façade I try to put on, or just don't care enough. Thank you, girl, for making me laugh, for being your crazy, weird self, for loving me for being ME and not who I pretend to be. Thank you for being one of maybe 4 people I can actually be myself in front of. I love you so much!!! This girls deserves all the appreciation in the world for all she does, but I hope this is enough. <3
