Helped you pack up for college
and just silently hugged
you as you looked through blurry
eyes at 18 years
of memories you were leaving
behind.

Your friends went out of their
way to come over
and send you off with a hug,

But most importantly, they sent
you off to college
knowing you were loved.

still the person
who gives you the better of

Thinks of you at times when
you are not there;
Reminds you of what you have
forgotten;
Helps you put the past behind
you but understands
when you need to hold on to
it a little longer;
Stays with you so that you have
confidence;.
Goes out of their way to make
time for you;
Helps you clear up your mistakes;
Helps you deal with pressure
from others;
Smiles for you when they are
sad;
Helps you become a better person.
And most importantly, a friend
loves you!
