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
