Dear Sarah,
Since we are like two stars shining in the night sky,
I am writing to ask a favor, please don’t deny.
I know I can always count on you, like the sun rising every day,
So I hope you can help me out in every which way.
I am empty without your presence by my side,
Like a flower wilting without the sun’s warm light.
We’ve been through thick and thin, you’ve always been my rock,
Together, we can conquer any block.
So, I’m reaching out to you, hoping you’ll lend a hand,
Let’s slash with me this journey, together we will stand.
You are my strength, my friend, my guiding star,
Please help me through this, no matter how far.
Your kindness and support mean the world to me,
Like a ship drifting at sea, you are my lighthouse, you see.
I promise to always be there for you too,
Together, there’s nothing we can’t do.
With love and gratitude,
[Your Name]
