To A Friend I No Longer Hold.

One night, a long time ago,

I walked into a crowded room

But all I saw was you-

Maria

In a room full of the unknown

You felt familiar,

Like a story I knew quite well-

Maria

Against my better judgement

I approached you,

sat down with you,

and told you my name

You said "it's so lovely to meet you, Victoria!

My name is-

Maria."

Little did you know, how badly I needed

to meet someone like you...

I had for far too long been

wallowing in a dark space

with no one tagging along

You were the only light

I had seen in that dreadful city

And still to this day,

You are truly my

saving grace-

Maria

So thank you for being yourself

Thank you for

your honesty

your love

your trust

And for never putting me up on a shelf

May we continue to fly on these dreams

and highs we've created together-

Maria

You are truly the best

friend, listener, sister,

I ever could have asked for-

Maria!
