You're the Real One

A thank-you to someone true. Through highs and lows, you are the only one he trusts. He has met many faces and places: some stayed for seasons, some left without a reason. He learned to read silence and to spot the violence hidden in a smile. Then there was you: different from the start, not loud, not performing, steady like a heart. No conditions, no agenda, no fine print. Every storm you held a light; you asked for little but the truth. Others talk in circles and say one thing Monday, another by Sunday. You showed up the same every time, not only when it was easy. He watched you choose loyalty over popularity and honesty over what people wanted to see.
