you are a best friend i
never knew i needed

and each day
i see something
new in you that
i realize i could
never live without

shout it to you
i wish i would do

but i don't

i hardly even tell
you
that i love you

in a way that you
can know for real
that can heal
the harsh criticism
i give without
restraint

i paint a picture
of how much more
you should be that
you are not

hot headed is all
i can see at times
soft hearted is
your true soul

cultivate that i must
for you and us...

you are my life line
and i will follow it
into eternity.
