How was I able to make it to the point where I could walk on my own two feet again? Where I could think about life more than death. To where I could put unanswerable questions behind me and look forward to life.
So much has been because of you.
When I could see nothing but the darkness that engulfed my very soul, you reminded me that there was a beautiful life before all of this, and one after, filled with so much beauty, happiness, and kindness, because and in spite of this.
When everyone said that it was "time to move on," you stood by my side and told me to take all the time I needed. But when necessary, you gave me a gentle push here and there, reminding me to put one foot in front of the other.
As time moves forward, and everyone else forgets, as they always seem to do, you still know what's going on in the depths of my mind regardless of the silence. You know when I'm lost in a memory, or a regret. Or a simple thought of one long gone.
You refuse to let me live in fear, justified or not, and remind me of that fearless person I once was.
Friend,
You were always there, and I wish I could express what that has meant to me every day. My heart is so full from having first experienced the healing power of love, and I wouldn't have made it here today if it weren't for you.
This is for you,
I love you.
