For You (For ALL my friends)

For you
I'd lay down my life
Yes that's what I'd do for a friend.
I love you with all my heart
You are more family than mine
You are more than part of this world
You are all I care about now.
For you
I'd fall to my death
So that you could have one more day
A day more in this beautiful world
You are more than a grain of sand on a beach
You are my life now & forever
For you
I'd give up my breath
for you to breathe in the air of life
Life would be nothing without you
Without you I couldn't be happy
You are more than a person in this community
You are the smile on my face
For you
I'd go around the world
Just to find the cure
That makes you so upset
& return that smile to your face
You are more that just some human.
You are the shine in my eyes.
For you I'd die a thousand deaths
So that you could be happy forever
For I love you with all my heart
You are my star in the sky
For you are all the joy in my life.

I wrote this for an old friend of mine. Her father was supposed to come to America from Africa, but for some reason there was trouble & he had to go back. She broke down in the middle of rehearsal for a show & I let her cry on my shoulder. This was in middle school. I wrote it for her, but for all my friends & it still applies. Even to all the people I've lost touch with.
