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

It is the message and concept conveyed by this write that gets the fave. Nicely expressed it speaks to how others become part of us and how their strengths are incorporated into who we are. A lovely write
