You never made me the happiest
You never let me fly too high in the clouds
You never took advantage
Or took me for granted
You helped me find my balance
With both my feet on the ground
So I nurture the deeper connection
To my heart's authentic sound
You made me feel the most
By making me look at my own ghosts
The rough burning edges, the scars and the stars
The old pains and pangs, the dreams and joy
Strains and sadness, self doubt and jealousy
Worry and yearning and even a bit of fantasy
Madness and anger and dream like surrender
Moments of courage and that of splendor
You hurled me into the abyss,
Which tasted like hope
For you showed me everything
Holding me back, so I could cope
You led me to my own attention
So I could change my life
You showed me my obstacles and addictions
So I can learn to survive
You helped me understand myself
By shaking me up
And forced me to see things as they are
By tearing my ego apart
You broke apart the wall that I had built around my heart
So new light can get in for a fresh new start
You made me so desperate and so out of control
That I didn't have a choice but to metamorphose
Stay in my heart, my friend, forever and ever
You may think I'm healed and need you no longer
Healed today as I may have,
A friend forever remains forever sweet to love
A friend I will remain always ready to listen
The way you taught me by being one to depend
I hope I'm at least half the comfort you are
In trying times if any, I pray that you never have to be part of
