You are my back bone

 My breaking point 

along with being the best part of me

My best friend

the one I run to for advice

 the one that listens to my endless stories 

My endless problems 

never once interrupts me

 Never once do you complain

but instead you look at me with pride 

The kind of pride that takes over your face with the biggest grin 

 You are my #1 supporter

You are my absolute happiness 

The one person who aggravates me the most

You are my first love

The kind of love that fills you with joy 

makes your surroundings feel perfect 

even when everything around you really isn't perfect at all

One night you realized that all of your problems started drowning you

Drowning you to the point of no longer wanting wanting to swim for another breath

So instead of swimming 

you decided that you no longer wanted to gasp for breath 

Just like that

Waking up to a call I was hoping was from you 

But instead it was from your mother

Crying and yelling

telling me they found you blue, on your bathroom floor

It tears me into pieces

Knowing that I couldn't even figure it out

I was so focused on my problems I forgot to remember that you had problems of your own

Just like that 

My world crumbled like a peace of paper

You're no longer here 

You're no longer here physically but you're still my backbone

My breaking point

 the best part of me

my best friend 

my #1 supporter

my absolute happiness

my first love

You're no longer here physically

but you will always be in my heart. 

So I hope you never again have to grasp for another breath just make it through the day
