Thank-you

 I knew you for only a short time.
    Despite the time, you were dear to me.
    I didn’t really get to say good-bye.
    People tell me it’s better that way
    That way, I never saw you in pain.
    But you encouraged me not shy away from pain
    So I don’t really know what to think of that.
    But I do know that I’m thankful for you
    And that I’m grateful to you.
    I didn’t get to say good-bye
    But maybe there’s still time for thank-you.
    So.
    Thank-you.
    Thank-you for welcoming me.
    Thank-you for recognizing me.
    Thank-you for your insight.
    Thank-you for the trivial conversations.
    Thank-you for all the times you made me angry.
    Thank-you for your support.
    Thank-you for your openness.
    Thank-you for snapping.
    Thank-you for apologizing.
    Thank-you for laughing.
    Thank-you for crying.
    Thank-you for breathing.
    Thank-you for living.
