My heart feels light and airy,
When we talk to each other at school.
You help me to relax,
And get away from that stress,
That I somehow create for myself.
I don't know what I'd do without you,
I couldn't live, It just isn't possible.
If you knew,
How much you meant to me,
And how you made me feel,
You would think I've lost my mind.
I need you, my friend, I need you.
In such a loving way...
You are always there,
And you always talk to me,
When I'm having a bad day.
You somehow make the pain,
Disappear. And for a little while, it's gone.

I wrote something in honor of you. After reading your comment, I felt compelled to write it. I have felt the same way you do and still do now. What I wrote was my feelings and not some pity if that's what you're thinking. Please could you read it? It's called Dear Peers- Jealous and challenged.
