You were always there

You were always there
when I had my first period,
to my first real boyfriend.

You were always there
when I got my first valentine,
to my first babysitting job.

You were always there
for my first real date,
to my first play date.

You were always there
when my boyfriend broke it off
to when another began.

You were always there
to cheer me on in basketball
and in volleyball too.

You were always there
to make jokes with me
and stay up all night talking.

You were always there
when i needed someone to talk to
and when i just needed company.

You were always there
for my first dance
to my first shopping trip.

You were always there
even when we went on planes
and even trains.

[too a couple of my best friends in the whole wide world. they've been there for me for the longest freaking time, and i love them all to death.]
