I Just Wanna Thank You

Even if we don’t talk anymore, I want to thank you.  I want to thank you for being my friend as long as you were.  I want to thank you for teaching me to love myself and everything I am.  I want to thank you for those long, pointless conversations that no one else could stand having with me.  I want to thank you for the funky calls in the middle of the night when I was out cold just to tell me something you knew I’d be excited to hear.  I want to thank you for the out of the blue phone call at 2am on the second to last day of summer, not too long ago, just to ask me if I could hear thunder as it poured outside my window (yes I still remember exactly how that went) in sheets.  I want to thank you for everything you ever did, and for existing.  But most importantly, I want to thank you for teaching me something very important.  Now I know exactly what to look for.  It isn’t you.
