Okay let me 1st give the background... I came out to this friend like 3 months ago. Ever since we have been really great friends and I couldn't ask for more from her. Also she did have a crush on me at the time I came out [oopz :eusa_doh: ]. Anyways she just sent this to me today but she told me she left out the part that she thought would make me sad. I cried when I read this it was so touching to me. I tried to get her to send e the rest be she refuses. I’m sorry you never felt Like you could be yourself For all of those years You were pinned up inside Just ready to explode I hope you can be happy now All along that was all I wanted To try and make a difference To try and make you smile I know I’ve made you laugh before I know we’ve shared many fun memories I know I will never forget them Or forget you ...break... If it brings us closer Then I can only be grateful After all the best conversation we’ve had Has been after you let go After you became vulnerable And let your guard down ...break... I just want you to know YOU ARE LOVED Even if it is just as a friend I care about you As a friend I’m always here As a friend I hope we can be great friends ...break... I want you to be you Whoever you are is whoever I want to be friends with Thank you for telling me the truth Thank you for being strong Thank you for be courageous Thank you for finally letting your guard down Thank you for being my hero Thank you for taking a chance Knowing you could be ridiculed Mocked at and talked about Be strong and I’ll be with you Every step of the way Because as hard as it is for me I know it must be so much harder for you Thank you for being YOU
Awww.. I love the poem You're extremely lucky to have a friend like her (&&&) That poem is so motivational. At least for me, and hopefully others, to come out to their friends. (*hug*)
Well that beats my story that I posted a while ago >_> *hands over medal* Hahaha great poem. I wish my friends would write me poems...
yeah. since then she has given me the full version of the poem because of how close we have gotten and every time I read it it makes me cry. The full version is like 3½ pages so don't want to type out the rest. I just love her so much!
