Significance of You

II

This next girl is something else. Someone I never expected to meet or become friends with. She came into my life late sophomore year. She's younger than I am by a year or so. I had seen her around my school and I seen her million dollar smile being flashed around. Her dark brown hair only flowed down a little bit past her shoulders. Her brown eyes are trusting. You look into those eyes and you just feel like you're safe enough to tell her anything and everything. That's the kind of person she is. That's what I've learned in the short time that we've been friends.

We haven't been friends for long and so we've not gotten the chance to hang out in person. However, we've spent countless nights talking into the late hours of the night. We've been on FaceTime and on the phone and texting like crazy. It's been an everyday thing. We talk so much that she actually knows my sleep schedule and that I'll probably be asleep when she texts me. She's been there for me and I've been able to bare my soul to her. She's someone new in my life and I'm quite happy with how it's been so easy to open up to her.

There's this one memory that stands out to me when I think of her. When I think of her, I think of how we were on FaceTime this one night and we just could not keep a straight face with one another. We had to laugh at absolutely everything we were doing. Almost everything was hilarious from the way that we looked to the most random thing in the background of her room or mine. We laughed so hard I started to feel my stomach start to constrict and hurt in a way. The way I could laugh and joke around with her was amazing. I loved it.

The whole reason I didn't think I could ever be friends with her was because she was so close with my ex girlfriend. Or so I thought. We had stopped and talked about the effect this girl had on both of our lives and we grew closer. We bonded over the way she had done us both wrong. It was such a good feeling to be able to tell her everything and have her believe me. She and I ranted on and on about this for hours and I think it helped both of us in the end.

She's done more than just become one of my newest friends. She's become someone new that I know for a fact that I can trust. Someone who understands. Listens. Cares for me. She's told her family about me and they seem to like me so it makes me feel so much better to know that. I'm no longer alone because I have her in my life. She's always gonna be there to make me feel better and to make me remember how to smile and laugh in times of darkness. She inspires me to be nicer to everyone. To show everyone love.
