My Friend


Dear Him,

 

You’ve helped me through everything.

You were there for me and at first,

You didn’t leave.

We had the best of both worlds.

You came into my life when I needed you.

It was great.

I felt pure joy. Pure happiness.

 

I felt like I could do this,

you helped me

through the hard times.

You were always there to talk.

You listened.

Sometimes you said nothing,

Other times you gave me advice

 

I don’t know how I could’ve gotten through

Everything without you.

Then you left.

During one of the hardest times,

You left.

I was alone and didn’t know what to do.

 

I realized this was a test.

You did this to me on purpose.

To see if I could do this without you.

You knew I could, I just had to believe

IN MYSELF.

 

I did.

Everything started to get better.

Then you came back and I realized

You were there the whole time…

Because you’re God.

Thank you for never leaving me.

For believing in me and never giving up

On me.

For always being there even though I thought

You left.

Thank you

 

Yours Truly,

Your child.
