Best Friend Letter - Part 2

Who will I be able to goof off with, at ALL hours, when you’re gone? Who will I be
able to SING with, that can carry a tune, better than anything I can ever do, when
you’re gone? Who will I be able to sit at the beach with for HOURS and stare at the
MOON with, when you’re gone? Who will I be able to sit with under the TREES and
listen to MUSIC in rain or shine, when you’re gone? Who will I be able to have
MENTAL CONVERSATIONS with just by looking at them, when you’re gone? Who will
make me LAUGH at the stupidest things, when you’re gone? Who will I be able to
share CAR RIDES with at 9 in the morning if gods forbid someone where to be in the
hospital, when you’re gone? Who will I WALK EVERYWHERE with, when you’re gone?
Who will be my LIFE CHANGING BEST FRIEND, when you’re gone? Looking back at
some of the memories I have with you, too many to list in one page, I suddenly
realize that loosing you, would be a disaster. I could never regret meeting anyone,
but…regret wouldn’t even come close if the lights went out again. I would lose
myself in the dark forever without you. There’s no ulterior motive in becoming your
friend. But I love having you in my life. I love having that person to goof off with. I
love having that person to go to the beach with and people watch. I love having
that person to sit and listen to music with and sing along with. I love having that
person who can read my mind when I don’t want to talk. I love having that person I
can sit across a table from and laugh my head off without him saying a single word.
I love having that person to talk to when I can’t sleep or am slowly going crazy. I
love having that person who when all my hope is gone who can give me a hug that
instantly makes everything better. I found my light, I found my savior from darkness,
I found him and I might be losing him. So to sum up what I’m trying to say without
coming across insane. I can’t lose you, so I’ll fight to keep you. I can’t imagine my
life without you, so I’ll fight to keep you. I can’t imagine darkness when my best
friend came along, so I’ll fight to keep you. I just can’t, so I’ll fight to keep you.
Love,
ME

Resentment

From the moment that I met you
I knew that there would be
And unrequited feeling
And soul inside of me

Where I wanted to laugh
And I wanted to cry
The heart ache assisted
In time passing by

I'm not saying I'm over you
I'm not saying I've tried
The warmth of your soul
Lingered til the moment it died

You promised me nothing
So there was nothing to gain
Your nonexistent promises
Is what brought on my pain

So forever will you carry 
The pieces of my heart
As long as were together
We will always be apart

Inside my mind is broken
With the images of us
The deceit and lies you started
Is what brought up distrust

This nauseating hold 
On my being you impart
Will forever bring on feelings
That epitomize your heart

This contention and this hurt
Pent up inside of me
Caused dissension and resentment
That everyone can see

So I bring to you this promise
The kind you couldn't give
This love for you resides in me
However long I live

Strangers

So I saw this woman today,
She looked familiar.
Like someone I’ve seen before,
Well basically someone I knew.
She outwardly represented something,
Something that was real,
Something that was true.
I initially chose not to talk to her,
But just stared in silence & she did the same
She seemed to recognize me also.
But when I opened my mouth to finally say something,
 It caught her off guard &
I realized it was futile she doesn’t hear me,
She’s just there.
I tried to figure out why she looks so tired.
Worn out,
Like she had no hope,
Like she was lost,
All the happiness was gone,
Drained from her face,
No smile

I kept staring,
I swear I knew her. 
The more I studied her face,
The more she studied mine,

Then it dawned on me,
I realized who it was.
But I was too afraid to say anything,
I was too afraid to take the initiative.
It’s incredible how the memories flooded back
She was the same person I knew,
The same girl,
Well grown up woman now.
Just a stranger because we never talk anymore
She still shared similar interests,
Still so much like me,
How did I know this?

Because like every time we had passed before,
She dresses like me,
She wears the same thing.
But at the same time,
She was too different for me to familiarize myself with anymore
Other than being grown up,
Something else was different about her,
That reason she looked so tired,
That glazed looked in her eyes.
She seemed almost in pain,
Like she was struggling,
Almost fed up.
I tried to get her to talk,
But every time I coaxed her,
She would cut me off & vice a versa
Needless to say,
To make a long story short
Stay in touch with those from your past,
Before you know it…

Your own reflection is a complete stranger.

You

You don’t know what you do to me and how I feel inside.
It makes me sick.
It makes me weak.
But still I persist on and on with being your friend.
Subjecting myself to the torture of waking up one more day not being able to be with you,
but being close enough to feel your spirit and your soul.
I should walk away now with the memories I have.
Ones which would suffice my potential loneliness.
Your love is everything I stand for.
Everything I believe in and no it’s not because I’m obsessed with.
You its because my heart is fragile like yours.
No matter how tough you feel or act.
Your exposed immaturity wells up maybe that’s what I’m attracted to.
You.
You and all your flaws and imperfections.
Like that little spot on the back of your neck that you always miss when you cut your hair.
That funny way you clear your throat before you have something important to say.
How quiet and pensive you get when your angry and how you loose your temper when your
annoyed.
Or the little things about you that are perfect.
How your hands are perfect and your lips are perfect.
I find myself mentally comparing every man I meet to you and how I feel about you.
Suddenly with 7 billion people in the world.
They’ll never match your potential.
Because if his hands are perfect like yours theirs something wrong with his lips.
Or if he misses a spot on the back of his neck it’s not in the right spot.
But I’ll sit back and observe in silence because of my imperfections.
I will never compare to your perfect smile.
Not that I want the glory.
I’d rather see you succeed and you shine.
Get the credit for what you deserve and know wherever I am.
I will hear of your achievements and celebrate them with you in spirit.
They say opposites attract.
But you and me are exactly the same when it comes to emotions.
I’m afraid to see our future together because of that reason.
You have no idea, and I’m comfortable with loving you from afar.
Even though its driving me crazy.

Dad...

You know there's many things from you
I see inside myself
I got your sense of humor
I take your worth of self

I know that maybe sometimes
We don't always get along
But the one thing that I respect from you
You always make me strong

You'll always be my hero
The one that I will call
You'll heal the hurt from broken hearts
You'll catch me if I fall

I hope we'll always be close
I hope the memories that we share
Will carry on forever
Cause I know you always care

I know you know I love you
Though at times seems incinsere
The thought of your displeasure
Is something that I fear

I've said it many times before
I say it cuz it's true
I'd never be who I am today
If my hero wasn't you

Best Friend Letter - Part 1

Dear Best Friend,
You know, everyone meets new people every day…and you know these passerby’s
very rarely affect our life…but…sometimes you’ll meet people that not only affect our
life but change it completely. They become friends who affect our moods, our
habits. People who don’t initially seem like a big deal until you see who they really
are…and then there are these people, these friends, who become something even
more than that. People who change our lives so much, that it seems like they’ve
always been there. The ones who change dynamics so much that you vaguely
remember a time without them, or what life was like before you met them. This is
where you fit in…normally I have a terrible memory, but the first time I met you, or
rather the first day I spent with you I remember. Not like a memory so much, but
more like a continuous event and in a sense that’s kind of what our friendship has
become. Someone I couldn’t imagine not being a part of my life, someone who
became my best friends in such a short time. Someone who came about just in
enough time to save me, and magically enough we instantly shared a bond that
made us inseparable, not intentionally and not by choice…you were suddenly just
there. Like turning on a light in pure darkness, you finally see where you are, your
surroundings. As cheesy as it sounds you are my light, you opened my eyes and
finally made me see where I was, who I was, what I did and didn’t like about my
life. The scariest part is when I met you the first day I spent with you I had that
feeling, everything became so evident. And now what scares me even more is that…
the lights might be going out again, I might be right back in the dark. There was
only one other person in my life who was as close a best friends that I could find for
me, the day he left I lost my true best friend, I lost that light, and I don’t know if I
can handle it all over again.
