I wake up in the dead of night,
heart racing and unable to get back to sleep,
I see you've left me a message.
I venture out from my safe house
and seek you out in yours.
My nightmare fades to the back of my mind
as I sit here chatting with you,
helping you decorate your new home.
I could while away the hours
just sitting and talking with you.
The hours feel like minutes
and I'm happy with the knowledge
that you are my friend.
I don't think I could ever express
how much your friendship means to me.
Always a bit of a hermit,
distracted, shy, and lonely.
You've broken me out of that shell.
So I thank you now for being a friend,
and being in my life.
