In the middle of my darkest night,
Few things will calm this restless mind;
Not many people can diminish the hurt.
But you, my Friend,
Always know just what to say
To distract me from the sorrow.

When I hear your words,
The anxiety subsides.
Your voice is the remedy
For the symptoms of my downcast spirit.
Nothing reaches me
Quite like your promises.

Dearest Companion,
I am forever indebted to you
For all you have done
To mend my wounds
And speed up my recovery
From this believed-to-be-incurable affliction.



I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me...

Everyone needs someone like this.  I'm hoping this is your reality!

Bravo, snowpants! in the midst of hard times, a few friendly words is the only remedy one could need.

Will you come travel with me? Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?

You've written a fine "Thank you" to this person.  
Grab hold and never let go!
May you never have to repay your debt...

It is always nice to have a friend that accepts you and loves you for you and will not turn their back on you when you need them the most.  I am happy that you have such a friend to lean on.  Wonderful write my friend. So nice to see you posting again.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.
