To A Friend

We may not truly know each other.

We've never actually met.

But somehow we think so alike.

Out of fear I claim not to be alone.

Out of sadness I say what's on my mind.

Sometimes you do the same.

You tend to unintentionally have a schedule,

And I do not.

Yet we have our times where we feel the same.

You said to others they might not come back.

I say leave if you aren't truly happy with us.

We don't entirely believe in a forever.

For once I've found friends I want to be with.

I see you happy when you're with specific people.

I enjoy seeing my friends happy.

I don't have crush on you,

In a way that'd be wrong.

I just want to know my friend is happy.

I may not know you in person,

But I know you.

I hope to one day meet you.

I saw you sad many times.

I've seen you angry too.

Yet I don't know how to do anything to help you.

When you're angry,

I offer my character as a punching bag,

Or I try to stay on your good side when I'm scared.

When you're sad and you say things I've said,

I don't know how to react.

I've always fixed myself on my own.

We aren't the same person.

We have different lives.

We have different goals.

But when I hear your sad words,

I want to help you so badly,

And become invisible at the same time.

I doubt I can fix your problems,

But I can try to make you happy.

My life goal is to see everyone's smile.

I put others before me,

I can't be happy without someone else's joy.

I need to know I'm wanted.

You might figure out who this poem is to,

Or you won't.

It's fine either way.

Just know that I love you as a friend.

And you're very smart.

I imagine you'll know who you are.

When we first met,

I honestly thought you were weird.

But I enjoyed that weird.

You made me feel like I belonged.

I was happy in a different way for the first time.

I found a friend I could actually talk to.

You're actually the longest friend I've ever had.

I don't care if you're over the phone.

I don't care if you live a few states away.

You're special to me.

And of course that sounds weird to me,

But it's true.

Though I might never specifically admit it,

This is as close to saying you're amazing as I can get.

Thank you for being there for me.

You've truly been an inspiration to me.

I wish I could be like you.

In some ways I already am.

I won't actually tell you about this poem.

It'll be you who might stumble over it.

Or someone else will tell you about it.

I hope you like it.
