You came into my life

an turned my world upside down, 

showing me what a truly caring

and loving friend is.

You took the time to listen

and have gotten to know the real me, 

not the one I show the world

however, the real me 

--the one usually hidden by my walls.

Your faith,

trust,

belief

and most of all your love 

helped me to grow more confident

each time we spoke,

hour-by-hour, day by day.

Thank you for showing me you 

and taking the time and effort

to get to know me.

You truly are one in a million.
