More Than a Friend My Foundation

Anthony Hanible

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
