Laughing,

Walking,

And hearts bursting with joy.

With love.

Finally someone I can relate to,

Someone who knows me for me.

I ride,

On your back,

And you wrap your arms about me.

Only you're not aware

Of how much I love our position.

Another one,

Picks me up completely off the ground

And carries me.

Makes me feel loved

And appreciated

And a true member of the group.

It's the one place

Where I don't feel like an outsider.

We can talk about anything

And they make me feel loved.

For the first time,

I have no qualms about whether or not

They want me to be there.

I love them, all of them.

Because,

Contrary to most people,

We have an ease to our friendship

And it makes me feel

So very special.
