I don’t pray anymore but I guess that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in God,
I have my doubts but there is still some faith in me.
That faith makes me wonder if you were an angel sent to me
An angel who showed up to hold me upright.
Cause how do I explain that you showed up exactly when I needed,
No, just before I needed it?
How do I explain that every conversation, every meeting, mends the tears in my heart?
It’s here that I learn how understanding works,
It’s here that I learn how support feels like
It’s here that I learn what a healthy relationship is like
It’s here that I learn how to stand tall.
So I hope when I call you bestie, you hear the gratitude I can’t express everyday,
See the spark of life that exists because you have been here.
Thank you for having me
