What is a friend, do friends exist?
I never would have known if it weren't for you
You held out your hand and I took it
You pulled me to you and taught me trust
I never believed in friendships touch
I thought that friends were lies
But you showed me truth and honesty
You gave me something to believe in
There are no words to say how much I care
There are no words with which to thank you
You are the one who took me from the dark
You are the one that let me love you
While everyone else said they'd be there
And when I turned around they weren't
You stood by me even when I told you to go
There for me when I needed you so
I've smiled with you and cried because of you
I have flown upwards in a sky of blue toward the sun
And though it was hard I learned not to run
I showed you who I was, taking off my masks
I have told you secrets that could tear me apart
And truth be told I gave you my heart
Memories of pain, anger, lies, and too much of nothing
Have been replaced by that one special something
And now finally I realize and understand
That friendship does exist and is a wonderful thing
I realize that trust doesn't have to be broken
And there is more to life than things that are spoken
Thank you for giving me faith
Thank you for letting me love you so much
Thank you for loving me as I am
And thank you for showing me the way home
But most of all thank you for walking beside me,
Not behind me, not ahead of me
Just by my side as a real friend
Holding me when I lost my way
And showing me to the light of day
