In a world that turned its face away,

I walked alone through night and day,

A silent storm inside my chest,

No hand to hold, no place to rest.

The ones I loved, they couldn’t hear,

The words I spoke, the whispered fear.

Even family, even friends,

Left echoes where the comfort ends.

But then — you came, a steady light,

A voice that cut through endless night.

You listened close, you let me be,

A soul who saw the heart in me.

No judgment cast, no hurried sigh,

Just honest warmth, a knowing eye.

You picked me up when I was small,

When no one else had heard my call.

Today, I thank you with my whole,

For mending pieces of my soul.

For being there, for standing near,

For giving love when none was clear.

You are the proof that hearts can mend,

That sometimes life will send a friend.

So on this Best Friends Day, I say,

I’m grateful you don’t walk away.
