Thank You
Today I move to another state and leave all of my friends behind,
yea, everyone does move eventually, but everyone moving hates it.
My friends are more than friends to me, they're my family,
they are my support, my helping hand ones, that kept me from falling.
And I want to thank every single one of them,
to voice just how much they all mean to me.
Thank you for being there when I was struggling and drowning in misery,
when I was going through troubled times and your hand was there to help me.
Thank you for the advice you told me when I wanted to give up,
the kind words to keep my head up when I wanted to put it down and give up.
Thank you for not judgeing me for what I couldn't control, though I tried,
and for staying my friend and listening to my issues even when you had your own to deal
with.
Thank you for hanging out with me when i finally could do so,
the times staying up late even when we had school the next day.
For the awesome experiences that I always wanted to do,
but couldn't for stupid reasons I couldn't reverse.
For letting me tag a long when you went somewhere for the day,
even if your boyfriend was there and we hadn't seen each other in a year.
I know we will all go our seperate ways,
I knew it when we graduated, that life wasn't going to be as wild as it was.
But we'll all be fine, and one day, I hope that we'll get back together,
and have a day like we did when we were young and in school.
Thank you to everyone of my friends that didn't judge me but hugged me,
who taught me to be srtonger than what I was, and told me I didn't have to be sad.
I always had a smile on my face when I was around my friends,
because they all kept me laughing even when I wanted to cry.
When I left my father and his family behind, I thought I had no one,
but my Friend and her family took me in under their wing.
I'll NEVER forget the kindness shown to me by her and her children,
I was apart of a family again, and I didn't feel lonely.
I had all my friends and realized just how lucky I was,
and I wasn't ever lonely, even when I felt like it.
And again, I thank every single one of them,
I'll be back to visit, my promise to you.
Thank you sooooo very much,
for everything I ever recieved from you all.
*hugs and friendship forever*
