To You

Iolanthe, Guardian of Divine Emotions (Love)

This poem is dedicated to my best friends, who have always been there for me.

My friends, I want to thank you
For being there for me,
While I was learning what I was
And who I wanted to be.
You have been there for me throughout my life,
Through almost every single part:
Through the laughing and the joking,
And the breaking of my heart.
Though you may not have been there from the beginning,
I know you'll be there to the end.
And that is why, I'm glad to say,
I'm proud to call you my friend.
