Dear Friend...


Thank You,

        For the "you go, girl" even when the world thought I wasn't doing enough
        For asking "what's wrong?" even before I tell you anything
        For bringing my favourite dish each time you make it
        For taking care of me every single time I fall sick
        For all the times when you make me feel like a superwoman even when I was not
        For taking care of my baby when I had to be away
        For the "let's go together" when I tell you about wanting to run away
        For asking me out even when I've let you down a million times
        For the "where are you?" when you haven't heard from me for a while
        For letting me know I matter to you
        For listening to my vents and rants without being judgmental
        For holding my hands and being my shoulder when I break down
        For lifting my self-esteem when the entire world tries to bring it down
        For brightening up my day when I've had a terrible one
        For just being there no matter what

Because, if it weren't for you,

        I would have thought myself to be weird
        I would have plunged deep into darkness
        I would have worried a lot more
        I wouldn't have known the goodness this world hold
        I wouldn't have know what extended family means
        I have no idea how my life would have turned out
        Above all, I wouldn't have been me...
