Because I know I can depend on you.
Because you know when to laugh at me
and when to take me seriously.
Because you know what to repeat
and what to keep to yourself.
Because you sense the feelings behind the words.
Because you always see something positive in me.
Because you are never fake but
are always honest with me.
Because you are a giver not only of
your time but of yourself.
Because you are a rare combination
of strength and sensitivity.
Because you know me better than most people.
Because you are not afraid to step
out into the unknown.
And most of all because I have the
Privilege of calling you friend.
