You were nice
and kind.
You worried and cared.
And made me smile
when you called me "bub".
I've never been called that before
but I liked it.
More than I probably should have.

You responded quickly, quicker than anyone.
At times I hated it, but later on
I grew to love it.
And if you couldn't respond
for long periods of time
you would always tell me and the why
even when it wasn't needed.

I'm pretty sure you had a crush on me
but I hated that I couldn't like you back.
I don't think I was ready to date again
nor was I in the best position.
That wouldn't be fair for you, for us.
But I do miss you,
talking, sending snaps.
It made my days a little less
bad.
