I never expected myself to be friends with you. You were those people who nobody looks at but you make me stare. Since the very first time we had a proper conversation in which we were ourselves I knew you were different. Look where we stand now. You are my best friend and you know me better than anyone and my life is brighter with you. With you laughing by my side I just want the moment to be still because I know that the moment captures me at my strongest but also at my weakest. You are now a part of me and my life is safer and happier knowing that you will stand beside me even when our eyes scare from the storm ahead. If I have to see how long I ' ve known you for, it ' s very short but I ' ve felt my face widen as I smile every minute I see you. Thank you for being everything I asked for. Thank you for being my life. I know you hate yourself because of your " looks " and all but that doesn ' t matter. What matters is that your heart is gold and warm and how you stand out. This is just the first part of your life so you can ' t whine about that because your are going to face many more obstacles but it ' s okay because you have that strength in yourself because you are yourself. The best part comes after the struggle and this isn ' t just for you but everyone who thinks life is too tough when you are in a small or big problem. We are with you and there is a way out also if anyone who reads this you don ' t know me but I ' m here to listen and help because I have been there. Here for you
