Priceless

I am the flower that lingers in your garden, fighting the ugly, prickly weeds that have choked the life and color from every other bloom.

I am a thick, downy coat that envelops you, providing the perfect barrier from icy winds of jealous betrayal and false gossip.

I am sweatpants and comfortable shoes, allowing you to relax and feel safe in a world full of Versace and Louboutins.

I am the gift you long for and most love to give, treasuring above all else this rare, precious gem that cannot be bought or sold.

I am the "true" before friendship, love, and commitment, bridging the gap between empty words and heart-felt devotion.

I am loyalty.
