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 smile…

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
