When I feel down
I look at those screenshots.
Of sweet things said
Of funny things said
Of emotions revealed
I see the changes.
study the improvements.
observe the differences.
And realise that so much has changed.
I look at where we are now and feel so proud.
When in the past we were but strangers
Strangers who just talked.
Strangers who never showed faces
Strangers whose only evidence was our random profiles.
I look at us now and I think.
How did we come so far?
How did we learn so much about each other?
How did we become family despite having never met?
So much has changed and so much has happened.
I saw you change from ice cold to warm.
I saw you change from a robot to a human.
I saw you change from a stranger to my brother.
I saw you change from the cool moon to the warm sun.
I saw you change from a hard nut to a soft marshmallow.
I saw it all.
My perspective changed with every conversation.
I went from being in awe of you to seeing you as a goofball.
I went from purely admiring you to loving and admiring you.
I went from seeing you as an intriguing stranger to my goofy brother.
I went from seeing you as a tool to someone I loved.
I saw it all and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I love where we are today.
It’s beautiful and scary.
Sad and happy
Painful and joyful
And so many other oppositions.
Its contrasting so it hurts but it also heals.
Which makes everything worth it?
