Dear best friend, partner, companion;
Whenever I learned to trust you and became comfortable around you, I saw how fun you and life truly were. I have never had this much fun in my entire life with just one person before. When we hang out, there's no rush to do everything together. We can simply lay in bed, doing our own things, and still feel like we have each others attention and time. I don't feel ignored, like a burden, or as if I was second best. I don't have to fight to get your attention, I don't have to feel like I'm bothering you, I feel the opposite really. I feel like I can relax and be myself, I don't have to mask or fake being a different version of myself. I can be me around you.
In the past, I always felt like I was second best to everyone, even strangers. I was never the first choice, the first thought that came to mind, and I have been countlessly rejected because of that, but with you, it's nowhere close to that. I feel like I'm better than the best, better than second place, better than what the rejections made me feel like. I feel worthy because you showed me that I am.
~Forever yours, Avery Fawkes
