A Letter to You

Dear you, 

Thank you for being there for me

Through all the ups and downs

Even when the water wins

You never let me drown

I’m sorry that I need you

Your support and your advice

I know that I can be a lot

Yet you’ve never wagered price

  Thank you for being here for me

When I feel like broken glass

You’ve never whined or yelled at me

You always let it pass

I’m sorry I’m so much to handle

I know I bring you stress

But I’m grateful for the way you manage

Sometimes my biggest mess

I wish that I could tell you

 How you’ve helped me through the years

I don’t really know why I am scared

I know you’d be all ears

You’re just way too good for me

I don’t deserve to have you

So I’m here for you like you for me

No matter what you go through

I’m so happy to be in your life

I hope you feel the same

I hope I’m just as good as you

Being there when you call my name

I appreciate all you’ve done for me

By my side through thin and thick

You’ve become my greatest thing

The hero to my sidekick

And thank you for the memories

Those silly photographs

Thank you for the experience

All the times you’ve made me laugh

This poem isn’t about one

About me, he, she, or you

This poem is about whoever

It makes your mind drift to

So I hope you’ve felt this feeling

Of love and friendship made to share

Because without this feeling

Lives a life full of despair

Sincerely,

Jilianne Brown
