Once In A Lifetime Friendship


This is for those who never grew tired. Those who didn't get tired of my dramas, of my severe mood swings and my sudden emotional outburst. Those who stayed by my side and never got tired of making me feel I am accepted and that they will stay.

Thank you. Thank you for showing me how it feels to be accepted for what I was, and for what I am. Thank you for always making me feel supported to what I seek to be. Thank you for showing me that there are those who will never get tired of riding this emotional rollercoaster with me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

This is for those who stood by my side. By my side in all the times I cried my heart out. To the times that I just shut down and kept silent. To the times that I screamed on top of my lungs and let it all out. Those times I got so drunk, of alcohol and of thoughts and they were there til I was sobber.

Thank you. Thank you for making me feel how it is to not be alone. To know that there's someone who is willing to be there - that they want to stay and help me. Thank you for never letting me be alone in times when I struggle within myself.

This is for those who've held me tight. Who kept my feet touching the ground. And for those who kept me standing when my knees are terribly shaking. This is for those who pushed me up when I myself got no strength in me to be able to stand up. 

Thank you for not letting me give up on myself. To have someone such as you, who held me and never stopped believing in me, have pushed me to continue. You are the reason why I had the strength to fight even when it felt like I had none left in me. You are the extension of my dreams, the one that helped me fight for it - to not totally lose it.

This is for those constant stars that light up my sky. The stars that shines brightly at dark. This is for those who are constant and never turned their back on me or walked away from me. This is for those who gave me their light in the darkest of my days.

Thank you for making me see the beauty beyond the dark. That there is light and it's just within me. And when I don't see it, there you are lighting my way so I can find my way and be back on track again. Thank you to the times you were there. When everything felt wrong you were the ones who still made me feel good. You made me see the good in the bad and that in this life, the greatest lesson is learned through going through the worst with the people you truly care about and cares about you.

This is for those whom I treat as family. To those I may not get to see but I cherish so deeply. This for those I hold dear to me, thank you for showing me how it is when there's true love that's being given to you. 

This is for you and my words of gratitude. This will never come close to how you truly mean and how you really made me feel. But let's just say, you made my life worth living. You shed light and warmth when life's tough and all rough with me. 

Thank you because of you I have found a home away from me. That home really isn't a place but is with people you cheridh. Finally, I'd like to say that no distance can tear what we have built. With this, I'd like to say what I feel - you are God's gift to me that I will forever cherish.
