You gave me your precious time, unequivocally, when you realized I didn\u2019t expect it- but needed it.<\/p>\n
You encouraged me when your friends shunned me as inadequate.<\/p>\n
You understood that I needed a friend above all else, and offered me your friendship.<\/p>\n
You confided in me, because you suspected you could.<\/p>\n
