it's been a while.

i haven't seen you ever since we first met last year, but i strangely remember you.  you were nice, kind, but there was something about you that seemed somewhat mysterious.  i guess that's what drew me closer to you, though i knew nothing about you.

a year passed, and here we are in the same place for the summer.  i oddly bonded to you so quickly.  it must be because of our connections to other people, but i want to believe otherwise.  in our young friendship, you have done more than what anyone could've ever expected, and i'm glad you're here for me.  i'm glad you're someone i can trust, a shoulder i can cry on, someone i can rely on.  thanks for giving me lots of warm hugs and listening to my ranting and troubles even when you had to drag it out of me.  

it's like you have me wired already.  you know something's up when i put my headphones in and nod off lazily to whatever beat fits my mood.  you ask how i'm doing whenever you see a lost look in my eyes.  you keep your eye on me, even when i'm too shy, scared, or angry to make eye contact.  you give me hugs telling me everything is going to be okay, in the midst of my temporary hell, saying life is too short to worry, and the person i'm worrying about wouldn't want me to be like this.  i can't tell you how utterly weird it is to hear those words, as i have had to fight my own battles secretly and keep them to myself, which is something you admitted to doing too.

i know we still have weeks ahead, but thank you for the time spent so far.  i hope our paths will be able to cross again in the future.

(p.s. i know you'll never read this, so that's why i'm so open here lol)
