We've discussed so openly <br />the many personal aspects <br /> of our lives. <br />We've talked about our needs, <br />our dreams, <br />our similarities and differences. <br />We've given one another <br />the freedom to ask anything <br />and talk about everything. <br />We've put all our concerns <br /> in the open, <br />so that we'd have the freedom <br />to grow and be ourselves. <br />You've been a ray of hope <br />and my source of laughter <br />when I wanted to cry. <br /> <br />You've touched me <br />with just a word of encouragement <br />when I was down. <br />You've been my shelter <br />when times were tough. <br />You stayed here beside me, <br />offering hope and showering me <br /> with your love. <br /> <br />You've been the one person <br />I can tell anything to, <br />no matter how personal <br />or how much it might hurt. <br />You haven't judged me <br /> based on my past. <br />We've never held one another down; <br />we've respected each other, <br />and we've laughed. <br /> <br />These are just a few of <br /> the reasons <br />our friendship means <br /> the world to me. <br />It's the most precious gift <br />I could ever receive.<br /><br />Aleksandra Lachut<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-friendship-means-the-world-to-me/
