I grew up as an only child but I had a cousin that was very, very close. This poem is about the wonderful friend I found in my cousin.

This poem is dedicated to the one person I can always count on. She was one of the few things keeping me alive at one point. We've been through a whole lot in only two years, and our difference in age didn't make things any easier. She stuck by me, though, through the good and bad times, and when our families and our friends were so unaccepting. Nine years is nothing between friends. She's always been willing to be the target of painful frustration, and she knows just how to cheer me up. Nothing in the world could ever repay her for everything she brings to my life.

This poem was written when I was not feeling my best. I have always longed for a person to say these things to me and mean them. I am a terribly romantic person, and have often fantasized about people saying and doing things that I long to have done.
