Pieces of Me

I have this list of friends I know tucked neatly in a book
and every year around Spring time I get it out and take a look.
And that is when I realize that these names are all a part
not only of the book there in, but of me, and pieces of my heart.

Each name stands for someone who has crossed my path somewhere
and in that meeting they have taught me how to care.
And while this sounds fantastic for me to make this claim
Just meeting you has changed my life and I will never be the same.

Now you may not be aware, of our special link
meeting you has shaped my life more than you can think.
For once you've met somebody, the years can not erase
the memories of a pleasant word and your friendly face.

So never think our meeting was just a mere routine
and all your names on my list are never forgotten in between.

I am built of pieces of all of you I've met
and all of you are someone, I choose never to forget.

So whether I have known you, for a day or even two
you have shaped my life someway and made my dreams come true.
