    this is a poem i wrote basically 2 years ago for a friend of mine, when i was feeling really alone and was missing her because she'd just dropped out of school and i hadn't seen her in a while.. anyways, i just found it and edited it last night.. her birthday is next month, and im thinking of giving it to her then... if i remember correctly, i gave her a birthday poem last year as well..

    I'd Want It To Be You*
    (* denotes dedication following poem)

    All these other people
    That I call my friends
    They aren't really "true-blue"
    They wont be there in the end

    You're the only one
    Who always will be true
    If I could only have one friend
    I'd want it to be you

    You talked me through the many times
    When I felt so sad
    And you helped me to realize
    That things weren't really that bad

    You're the only one
    Who always will be true
    If I could only have one friend
    I'd want it to be you

    I never thought I'd make it
    Though those times I thought were so rough
    But it was you who pulled me through
    You were the one who was tough

    You're the only one
    Who always will be true
    If I could only have one friend
    I'd want it to be you

    When I think of all you've done for me
    It almost makes me cry
    I'll never be able to pay you back
    But that doesn't mean I won't try

    Because you are the only one
    Who always will be true
    And if I could only have one friend
    I'd want it to be you.

    *This poem is dedicated to my best friend of 7 years, S.E.S. We've had out ups and downs in the 10 years that we've known eachother, but we've always been able to work through things. She's been there for me so many times when I thought I had no one else to turn to and so many times when I really didnt have anyone else to turn to. So this poem is a small token of my gratitude to her for putting up with my bullshit for all these years.

    wow. Wow. I want you to know I shed tears while reading this piece. I would dedicate a reading to one person right now if I could. You know who you are my friend. Never change.

    Though this does not make me shed tears I do appreciate the sincerity and the sweetness of the dedication.
