thank you jerry

How is it that you know me?
You know me better than anyone
You not only know I cut
But the reasons why
You pay attention
Unlike anyone else
And you use this knowledge
To help me
Not to hurt me like the others
I’m not used to this
This affection
This kindness
I have never known this
You are my buddy
But with a whole new meaning
You are what I have waited for
A friend…
A kind word of encouragement
A funny face to make me smile
A tickle to make me laugh
A hug to allow me to crumble
Then strength to allow me to remain standing
I love this relationship
Not many understand
It’s stronger than dating
It is a true friendship
I am so grateful
I can’t even express it
You have saved me so many times
And continue to do so
Without even trying
You are truly amazing
You give and give
And want nothing in return
How is this?
I have tried so hard to find the catch
I accuse you and yell at you
And hit you
Trying to find your flaw
Trying to find the gain for you
What is it you want from me?
Nothing…
You honestly want nothing from me
That is so hard to understand
But such a relief…
Thank you Jerry.
