I had the privilege of making a new friend who got really close to me in a short amount of time and it spoke volumes to me. I also just really appreciated how some people can get so close so quickly in itself and this is a poem I wrote about that.
I've always felt meeting you was like reading a book.
usually you find one with a character you really like that grabs you like a hook
You notice their qualities
What makes them tick or squeal with joy
What makes them feel relatable to your own story
And sometimes getting to know them through reading
Is the closest you've felt to anyone.
And you get attached
Like they're latched to you
So you can't put the book down
You want to see what happens
Well every day that I talk to you feels like that
You even have this powerful walk filled with dignity
Constantly flowing in your stride
Through these sandstorms called life
I often wonder how you hold your ground so firm
And nothing could ever feel as magical
As laughing with you
Over silly inside jokes like
"The Basement is downstairs"
Listening to you Giggle like it's my favorite song
You make me smileā¦
At times when it's hard to even hold myself together
You make me wanna dance...
Even when I look like an absolute freak
And I don't care what anyone else thinks
Because right here
I could stay in this moment forever
You illuminate my life
When things seemed to be black and white
You showed me color
Color that's vibrant
Color that's true
Color that's magnificent
And as beautiful as you
You glow with passion
And your bright light shines on me too
So you could never begin to picture
How much I'd like to thank
You
