For you: The second chapter
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that, "The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship. It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to you when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship."As beautiful as all that sounds it is completely bogus. I don't buy it.
The glory of friendship (in la-la land at least) is the knowledge that someone sees what the anatomic eye can not without a shred of judgment.
But what do I know? I am but a novice to a world of Barbies, Beliebers and Monsters. Sigh, I really was born in the wrong time. But oh well, a girl has got to make do.
I make the most sense when I'm writing so I thought this would be the best way to show my gratitude in this matter. I'm sure you approve. :)
You are such an amazing person! I know you use crude words and swear a whole lot, you can be impatient, frustrating and Argh! You jump to the worst conclusions AND you're a G!
Hey, I said AMAZING not PERFECT. But you know what? I wouldn't change one thing about you. You, your faults, merits, EVERYTHING I love and hate make you, YOU! The good outweighs the bad.. Plus who am I to judge? I'm worse than you are. (But you love me still) :)
Contrary to what you believe, I do pay attention. I actually do know, I just choose to taunt you. Keep in mind that you do deserve it at least half the time. Fine, 25% of the time. The other 75, I do for no good reason. And it's fun!
I have to acknowledge that Fate played her part. How else could I have had such good fortune at the exact moment I did? And without knowing that it was what I needed. You did a number on me.. in the good way. I was in a dark place.. and you realized it before I did. I count myself the lucky one. At the risk of sounding like a total softie, I'm gonna say this:
My dear smurf,
I love you for all that you are,
for all that you do.
Keeping me together when I'm going mental.
I want to return the favor.
So when the boogieman breaks out,
and the tide is rising..
Let me help.
I may not say or do all the right things
but be rest assured that every word,
every gesture will come
from the deepest part of me.
Whether we sink or swim,
we will BE! - Believe that!
Reflecting on that line about being born in the wrong time.. It's not so bad when you take into consideration the fact that I've got the awesomest friends. What do you think? :)
