Significance of You

VII

I've know this girl since sixth grade. For the first few years of middle school, she was one of those girls who was friends with just about everybody. Including me. We were friends and I liked her then but I'd never have the courage to speak to her about it. We were good friends anyways. I didn't want to ruin that. She and I could joke around and make a boring lunch period become the most fun anyone could have. She was that kind of girl that everybody wanted to be around. That is, until she moved away and couldn't keep contact.

Sophomore year rolls around and she's popping back up. She's transferring back to my school. I add her on Facebook and I start talking to her again and I see that she's grown so much. She's not that goofy little kid anymore. She's this mature young woman who can still make me laugh. She's gorgeous now. Puberty did her right. She still has those honey brown eyes that reminded me of hot chocolate. She still had that beautiful smile. She still was the girl that I knew in middle school, just a little bit more grown up.

We got to talking and it's almost like we never stopped talking. We're there for each other through anything and everything that we've faced. She's still someone I can talk to for hours and never get bored. I'm always there for her if she's upset or not okay. She does the exact same for me. Our relationship is so much better now compared to how it was in middle school. We've both grown and matured in ways that I won't ever fully understand. We've gone through more than we should have but it's gotten us to this point where we can be who we are today.

To say I love her, is an understatement. She compliments me in ways that I've never be complimented before. She sees my mind as a beautiful place and she wants to be a part of it. She tells me about how she wants to just sit and talk to me for hours. Or even just listen to me and how I speak. She says I have a way with words and she's a big part of the reason why I'm writing this. She believes I have a gift and I'm just simply using it.

This is a once in a lifetime friendship. She's become a part of my everyday life and I can't imagine my life without her. She's had such a positive impact in my life. We've never even fought or argued before. She's just one of the best people in my life at the moment and I'm proud of her. For who she is now. For what she's done to become the young woman I know now. She's gone through so much heartbreak and I've been there to watch her grown each and every time. It's a beautiful thing and she has a beautiful life. I'm blessed to be a part of it.
