To My Best Friend

The day I walked into a new school
you were the first one to speak.
You made me feel welcome to
an new environment I barely knew.

You always waited for me after every class.
You showed me around.
You were kind, friendly and funny.
You were my first friend.

You were always there for me
when I needed you the most.
You were there when I
needed a shoulder to cry on.

You made me laugh even when
I didn't want to.
You gave me hugs when I felt down
about the marks I couldn't achieve.

You always listened to my boring
stories, but you never walked away.
You helped me with a lot of
decisions I had to make.

You were always there to
support me throughout our year.
You helped me to keep my head
above water when I'm drowning in tears.

You were always happy for me
when I achieved my goals.
You are my inspiration,
my definition of a friend.
