Thank you, Mariah, for being there when
I never thought I’d be able to face love again
Thank you, Mariah, for being so kind
But really, did you have to leave him behind?
I’m sorry, Mariah, that you had to set him free
How sad you must feel when you see him with me
I’m sorry, Mariah, that this made you cry
I know it was hard for you to tell him goodbye
Thank you, Mariah, for being so brave
I know a broken heart was a big price to pay
I’m sorry, Mariah, that I kissed him first
Behind your acclaim, I can tell you are hurt
But thank you, Mariah, for being there again
Your sacrifice proved that you are a true friend

Ever had your best friend, who you would trust with your life, willingly give up her first love...for you? Even though it tore her heart to pieces? I have.

Yes, Mariah is an amazing best friend. I'll never be able to thank her for what she did for me. I am still with the boy she gave up for me and yesterday was our 11-month anniversary.

This is a very nice poem. The personal piece is nicely written, and the bigger story behind it is even more amazing. I can't imagine anyone that would willingly give their first love for a best friend. That is honestly extrordinary. Hold onto the best friend and never let go! I see you guys are very close:) nice work.
