I don't think you know how much you mean to me.
It's hard to believe we met 11 year ago,
At the end of a staircase in my old elementary school.
You put up with me as I grew up through elementary and middle school,
As I cried and complained about childish things.
When you retired in 2011 and at the end of eighth grade.
I was more crushed than I'd ever been in my few years of life.
I couldn't fathom a year, let alone life without seeing you everyday.
But thanks to the wonder of technology,
We've never gone two weeks without texting.
It would feel weird if I didn't see your name pop up in 3 day.
I know you could be my mom or aunt,
But you truly my best friend.
You know a side of me that not even my family dose.
I don't know how you do it,
But somehow you know when to text me.
I can't help but smile when we talk,
You always make me laugh at exactly the right time.
Even though we've only seen each other a few times in the past 5 years,
I feel like we've gotten closer than I could have imaged.
As you can see,
I can say so much about you,
But the one thing I've been so scared to say is,
I love you.
I don't know why I'm so scared to tell you this straight up,
I'm going to say it once more,
I love you.
