You weren’t just someone I laughed with
You were the ground beneath my chaos
The voice that steadied me
When the world tilted too far to one side
People talk about
Best friends
Like it’s a small thing
But you were the blueprint
The anchor
The quiet strength I leaned on
Without even noticing
Until the day you were gone
Now every memory feels like a brick
You laid in me
Your loyalty
Your honesty
Your way of showing up
Even when life was heavy
You built something in my spirit
That doesn’t fall apart
I still hear you
In the choices I make
In the courage I borrow
In the way I try to be better
Because you believed I could be
You were more than a friend
You were my foundation
And even though you’re not here
In the way I want
I’m still standing
Because of the pieces of you
That live in me
