Without you, where would I be?

for that person who has done all this for me

Without you, where would I be, what would I do, how could I be? 
You came into my life: like a star in my sky and helped me to see
You're my closest, kindest friend, someone upon whom I can depend
I know we will always be the truest of friends until the very end.

You came when I was weeping, when the world had all turned gray
When my eyes were puffed and swollen from the happenings of that day
With your words you calmed my spirit and with your presence let me know
That no more days would ever greet me with the return of such a show.

Without you, where would I be, what would I do, how could I be? 
You came into my life: like a star in my sky and helped me to see
You're my closest, kindest friend, someone upon whom I can depend
I know we will always be the truest of friends until the very end.

Patiently you would lead me through the past hurts and the pain
And whenever I was being triggered guided me away from that again
Knowing of my painful history, my traumas and of my dreadful hurt
You walked in with feathered slippers, helped me find my own self worth.

Without you, where would I be, what would I do, how could I be? 
You came into my life: like a star in my sky and helped me to see
You're my closest, kindest friend, someone upon whom I can depend
I know we will always be the truest of friends until the very end.

So don't be too alarmed if I am writing for you this poetic phrase
That sings to you my gratitude for your dedication and gift of days
There aren't too many people like you in this enormous world of ours
You are truly one in a million and you  outshine the brightest stars

Without you, where would I be, what would I do, how could I be? 
You came into my life: like a star in my sky and helped me to see
You're my closest, kindest friend, someone upon whom I can depend
I know we will always be the truest of friends until the very end.
