Dedicated to a very special friend of mine.
When I say
I’ve never met anyone like you before
it means more than
what others mean by that
When I say
I’ve never met anyone like you before
it means more than
that no one could ever replace you
When I say
I’ve never met anyone like you before
it means more than
that you’re very important
and this friendship means a lot to me
When I say
I’ve never met anyone like you before
it means
that I’ve never met anyone
who is just a bit like you
because you smash any expectation
again and again
And when I say
that you smash any expectation
I don’t want to say
that I had any expectations of you ever,
it means that you show me again and again
how healthy a friendship can be
and that nothing’s impossible
when you’re ready to believe in it
and to do everything for each other
You don’t give me a single reason to let you go.
But there are lots of reasons
to hold on to you –
reasons that show me again and again
how special you are
and that I’ll never let you go,
that I’m gonna be there for you
no matter what’s it about
no matter when
no matter what you need
But in the end, you are the reason.
It’s rare to find a friend like you,
maybe just once in a lifetime,
and you can’t even imagine
how grateful I am
not to know just “anyone like you”
but you instead
Thanks for everything, especially yourself.
