I meant you back in 2011, when I was a freshman in high school. I was 14 years old. You were nearly 20, but we became fast friends. You allowed me to follow you around almost everyday. Instead of pushing me away, you invited me to join your group, to the point where I was nicknamed your shadow. At the time, you were dating the worst girl on the planet, but you loved her and it wasn't until later that you realized what she really was. It's OK though; we all know the phrase "love is blind".
We lost contact the summer you graduated. You had asked me to be your girlfriend the February before this, but I declined. I needed to focus on my grades and getting into college, even though that was two years away. You started dating a worse girl than the other two that you had. She and I had been childhood friends and you didn't listen when I told you she was abusive. You quickly learned the truth though. She never let us talk and the only way I knew you were single was because you started liking my posts again. You had stopped when she was going through your likes and comments online, so i knew the two of you had broken up or were taking a break. I was so happy because I remembered hearing about you fights while we were in school. You never liked it when I said "I told you so."
Not even two weeks later, we were together, and you became a constant in my life again.Truth be told, I had forgotten about you once you graduated, but once we were spending nearly every day together, I do not know how it was possible to have forgotten you. You rode out my junior and senior year of high school with me, which is something I'm forever grateful for. You did the same for me when I came to Framingham State, and you even helped me unpack, with only mild complaining.
Nearly three years later, you are still a constant, maybe more so because we live together. You've made me laugh and cry and you make me want to strangle you nearly every day. However, I love you and I hope you feel the same way too.
Kyle, you've made my life better for the past few years. It's been almost three now and I can't wait for many more.
