Whoever You Are, Wherever You Are

Don't let your kindness wither away as you grow.

Whoever you are now, wherever you are now. 
It's taken me years to gather my thoughts in one place. 
Uniformity to the chaotic dance my heart and mind have been through. 
With every year that's gone by I've thought of you here and there. 
All of the smiling faces you portray 
All of the days spent together that swept away from under our feet
All of the nights we shared at our parents homes. 
Every moment I cherished without a second thought from myself 
Or a second glance from you. 
You who taught me things I undoubtedly shouldn't have known
Who expanded childlike thinking to a new level
Who showed me the other side of the world I hardly knew
Who gave me the idea of what love was
Not that that was anything at the time. 
We were kids. 
But as we grew up, everything you told me I never forgot. 
And the dance continued, and I found myself lost and confused. 
Lost in a friendship that's lasted for years 
And finding myself more and more in tune with you every day. 
It was so confusing. How we were the way we always were, 
But yet I started to see things in a different way. 
And then I realized what I knew from the beginning but couldn't understand then
I was in love
Hopelessly and helplessly. 
And I felt horrible. 
That I should have feelings for a friend I've known since I was little. 
I can only imagine how you would've taken it. 
I hope you would just accept it like I did and put it behind you. 
Or maybe you felt the same and we could've been something more than friends.
Two little people in a big world, 
Doing everything we've always done together, but with a new shine in our eyes. 
To this day you probably haven't the slightest clue that I felt that way. 
I haven't seen you in four years after all. 
You're probably far and far away from home and any thoughts of me. 
And I hope you're still the same person you were then. 
Always trusting and caring of others and their feelings. 
Looking back on it I'm glad I got to know you. 
And even more glad to know that you were my first love though you never even knew
And if you ever happen upon an old dusty memory of me
I hope it's one of us as young kids. 
Without the bias of love to even run across our minds
Everything being simple and all for the sake of having each other around. 
But even so, even if you did know, and knew it all along
Thank you for being who you are 
And for everything about you that I won't forget.
