She stands on the edge of a virtual cliff

inching closer with each new day

Thinking life is just getting too difficult

and no one would miss her anyway.

Taking another step closer

feeling the pain closing in

not just her own

but those she holds most dear to her heart.

Staring out she thinks

about how she will miss them

some have been more like family

than her real blood ones.

Her mind then drifts to him

about how they haven't known each other long

but how slowly each day their friendship grows

and how special he is becoming

She doesn't think he fully understands

that slowly he is becoming

someone she depends on, her rock as some may say

who with each smile and hug, brightens up her day.

She turns and walks away from edge

realizing the little gestures acts of kindness and love

which he does for her

she reciprocates and does in turn for others...
