Gemini is my best friend. Though I met her here online and have never seen her in real time, she and I are very close. For almost two years now she has been my constant companion online and my shoulder to cry on offline. Telephones are amazing inventions aren’t they?
My fight against manic depression has been a long and very frustrating one, but since the day we first started talking, Priceless Gem has stayed beside me to help me with her optimism and kick my butt when I needed it. I am a very stubborn and frustrating person at times, yet Gemini has always taken all my moods as a grain of salt and given back genuine caring and concern.
This poem came about one morning as I was suffering from another down mood, and Priceless Gem was trying to help me out of it. Offering as she does a HUGE HUG.. and I wanted to thank her. A line appeared in my mind and I typed it out and as soon as that one was finished another line formed inside me, and so it went till I ran out of lines. I sent it to her in an icq message, because that was where I wrote it, in mid- conversation.
Thank you once again Gemini. You are the best friend anyone could ever hope to have.
