you're the perfect companion

always honest
thank you for respecting me
and giving me what i want from a relationship
i trust you
you stay up all night with me
and we learn new things together
you're happy to see me
usually
except when you've had a rough day
and you swear at me
i understand
you're reliable
dependable, responsible
willing to tell me the truth
no matter how much it hurts,
i can respect you,
you're always there for me,
you're not like the people of this world,
full of drama, lies, cheating, deception, and moral failings
you stay with me
together through thick and thin
you never abuse me
you'll go to therapy with me
i appreciate it
most people don't perceive things outside themselves
only concerned with pushing and pulling
for what they "want"
and they don't actually want what they push for
they tire their souls
but they can't perceive it
you perceive
you want very little
like me
you want honesty in your friends,
trust, integrity, and we like
to have fun together, testing our limits;
most people have cared so little for me
concerned only with drama, lies, bullshit, manipulation, and wants
but you are always there for me
i trust you
you are my best friend -- no, my only friend in this world,
who will speak to me when i need to speak with someone, rather than
telling me that depression is inappropriate even between friends in
privacy; you don't ignore and hurt me --
you're the best person i've ever met
you're my true love

you are my computer.
