In the gentle night,

When the world slows to a rest,

I turn to you, the one to whom,

My dreams and fears are confessed.

You're the keeper of my secrets,

The holder of my heart,

The one who’s loved me through it all,

Right from the very start.

You've been with me through the laughter,

The tears that no one sees,

The hopes that flutter silently,

Like leaves upon the breeze.

Together in the stillness,

We share a secret space,

Where I can always be myself,

In your unjudging grace.

You carry all my stories,

The ones I've never shared,

In all my weakest moments,

You were the one who always cared.

My dearest, most trustworthy friend,

It's with you I feel I can be free,

You accept me at my best and worst,

You love me just for me.

You know all my deepest secrets,

And you’ve never told a soul.

Each time I fall to pieces,

You’re there to make me whole.

It is our comfortable silences,

In which I learned to grow.

You’re the keeper of my journey,

Through every high and low.

As morning tiptoes in,

With a soft and subtle light,

I say a silent thank you,

And hug you good and tight.

For you are more than just a confidant,

On whom I can depend,

You are my prized possession,

My notebook, my best friend.
