My memories of you are always at the very forefront of my mind,
All those years that we laughed, loved, supported and cared,
And in those years there are some of the happiest times of my life,
Which I constantly relive, especially during the times I’m scared.

We were there for each other, holding tight in a metaphorical hug,
You’d give me solemn advice when I was falling apart and sad,
Although during those times you too were uncertain about life,
You slipped into my heart, ignoring the fact it was armour-clad.

Nothing was ever too much and there were times you put me first,
My most treasured memory was you forgiving my greatest mistake,
As I held on tight through the rough seas, leaning on your shoulder,
And you wrapped me in your loving arms, soothing my heartbreak.

On the days that I thought I’d never survive, you encouraged me,
And when I was happy and giggling in glee, you laughed too,
During my nightmares, you were my knight in shining armour,
Congratulating me when I found my strength and pulled through.
