I thought you were rude,
Before I met you,
Walking around all sassy,
Acting like you knew everything

Then personal finance came,
We sat next to each other,
You always helped me,
No matter how many times I asked,

That one day I laughed hysterically for ten minutes,
People looking at me like I was crazy,
But you…you just laughed with me,
Those are good memories,
Singing songs in guy voices,
Lip singing to strangers,
All good memories,

Allowing me to live with you,
When I was flooded,
We bonded really well,
We knew each other like the back of our hands,
Never fighting,
Getting alone 24/7
It was like we were meant to be best friends….sisters

You’ve been there for me,
Through rough times,
Giving me advice,
Amazing me by how much you were right about things,
Never shutting me down,
Always supporting me,
No matter my decision,

We became the other half of each other,
Sharing interest,
In all different kinds of categories,
Changing each other’s views on things,
Both loving ice cream and tigers,

Those little things that we have in common,
Bring us closer,
Each and every day,
And I would just like to take this time,
To say thanks,
For all that you have done

my teacher wanted us to write a ode to something that we really appreciate, and I truly appreciate everything that my friend has done for me! I wanted to show her in a way instead of just telling her so I thought why not a poem!
