Always a friend I found you in
Never once did you say one thing either way
Finding that it was just how it should have been
You gave me a beginning

Then it was fun in the limited times I had
A companion among friends to share laughter with
Calling me to look at more than what I saw
You gave me hope

Kindness flowed from you
Greater than a powerful river
Softer than the gentle descent of a feather
You gave me wisdom

Just as love came pain
Small and lovingly energetic
Hindered by wounds and lost in the world
You gave me patience

Killing time in the rain
A new experience and feeling came
Regret was thought only a small sacrifice
You gave me understanding

Dawning in a new world
Waving to you as I passed by
Never being able to trust one another
You gave me strength

Kindred in so many ways
Always giving your best to maintain comfort
Lost only to the missing spark in the touch
You gave me peace

Sheltered from those around you
Lost and crying for help to find a loving arm
Returning to what you hated and finding freedom
You took from me everything

Together I had my piece of happiness in the world
Away from me you were torn
You alone had my heart

I have lost who I am
I will find who I will become
