To My Best Friend

I have a best friend, and he is a unique human being. I'm very blessed to have him in my live, and I hope he will read this and enjoy what I have to say.

It started with a simple greeting.

A simple "Hello, how are you?"

You were wearing a muscle shirt,

and I was wearing a black dress.

We soon found our common interests.

A happy, "You like metal? So do I!" 

You smiled for the first time,

and I kept smiling, as yours was contagious.

It was a week after we first met.

A quiet, "Let's go on a walk, and talk."

You said you were an introvert,

and I said I am a social butterfly.

We began to hang out more often.

A simple, "Let's hang out outside of school."

You wanted to go to the movies,

and I went to the movies with you.

Throughout the weeks, we got close.

A question, "Tell me more about yourself."

You were hesitant to share your past,

and I was open to talk about anything.

We poked fun at each other's quirks.

A clever, "Oh, that is so you." 

You were always joking around with me,

and I would respond with witty comments.

It was summertime, and we hung out even more.

A quick, "Get fixed up. I'm picking you up in ten."

You were always up for adventure,

and I willingly tagged along.

We have created many fun memories.

A lot of, "Remember when you did this?"

You are reminiscent about the past,

and I encourage you to hang out with me more.

It is during the last week of Summer.

A kind, "Let me help you through your pain."

You are giving advice to me to heal from my past,

and I listen and take what you say to heart.

We became really close to each other.

A joke from others, "They must be dating."

You quickly laugh it off and deny it,

and I simply laugh along with you.

It is now back to the new school year. 

A sad, "I won't be able to see you as often."

You currently have a really busy schedule,

and I will have to see you only during the weekends.

We will always be best friends. 

A confident, "I will always be there for you."

You heard me promise that when we first met,

and I always keep my promises.
