GLAD

September 26, 2024

When we met it was all so new But where I saw fear You saw hope

You said it'd be okay that no matter what, I was loved And I was glad

I have new friends Because you told me it was okay to accept them To let them help me

I got to know you I came to love you And for a time I got to have a best friend again

Now you're gone forever And all I've got left are my memories of you And the hope you gave me

I'll never forget you I'll use the lessons you taught me In your brief time in this world to help others like you

And in the end even though I cry every day I'm GLAD I met you and I wouldn't change it for the world
