To my dearest friends.....
Never standing with the crowd, always looking in.
Never feeling confident or proud, always willing to give in.
Never looking at the bright side, always looking down.
Never letting all the bad things slide, always feeling like a clown.
Never knowing all the love I had, always letting it slip away.
Never thinking I was anything but bad, always being led astray.
Never thinking about tomorrow, always dwelling in the past.
Untill you took away my sorrow and made the good times last.
You've helped me change my loneley ways and let me in your heart.
You brightened all my nights and days from the very start.
You showed me many wonderous things and taught me how to love.
You sheltered me with your wings, like an angel from above.
You've opened up my heart and mind, let my soul be free.
You saw not the out, but the inside, you saw the best in me.
You helped me open up and grow, enough thanks I can not send.
And now in my heart I know, you'll always be my friend.
