You gave me a gift that added meaning to my existence,
So sweet and pure, I thought it was to good to be true
It made my heart beat rapidly
And my joy knew no bounds

Your love was like an astringent that healed my emotional wounds
I felt the need to compare myself to the dazzling stars that shone with grace and pureness.
With you, I forgot the depths of my scars
And the emptiness in my heart was filled with true happiness
My broken soul was healed and you put back the pieces of my shattered heart, caressed it with honey and set it high up on a hill of roses and peonies where no one could hurt it again.

You gave me hope
When I had none
You gave me joy
When mine was void
You made me feel wanted
When I was rejected
You cleaned my tears and helped me overcome my fears.

Now, I smile wholeheartedly
Not just because of this gift
But because I have tasted true love.
My heart is filled with delight.
Metaphorically, I walk through the rooms of love, your comforting words act as music to my ears containg a light that shone faith into me, that revived my soul.

What was this gift?
friendship..
It was friendship.
