To My Best Friend Poem by Tori Beals

You see right through my pretenses
you look right through my mask
you know just when I need a hug
I never need to ask

You show up when I'm lonely
you stay when I'm depressed
all of my rude comments
you shrug away in jest

You see all my dark
you see all my light
you're always by my side
even when I'm not right

You cheer me when I'm sad
you catch me when I fall
How did you come to earn my trust,
when I trust no one else at all?
