I know that you're waiting
'Cause love is worth saving
But only for so long
So long
*So long

I lay expressionless
Sick and mechanic
It'll get better I hope

Sometimes I call you my angel.
It just slips out in moments of passion and love.
I know you don't really like it, but B, that's what you are.
If you hadn't entered my life the moment that you did, I would be dead.
I know it - without a doubt.
In February of 2015, you would've been attending the funeral of your temporary chemistry lab partner.
"You came along and you saved me."
You had no idea what I was going through.
I hadn't even told you the worst parts.
But you were there for me for months.
You kept me going.
You were the coffee I should've been drinking.
---
Because of you, I'm finally comfortable in my own skin.
I know who I am and I am because of you.
You grabbed my hand and led me through the darkness of a bad breakup, bouts of depression, and midnight panic attacks.
You had the uncanny ability to know when I was slipping.
My angel, my guardian angel.
---
I've spent the last ten months thanking you
- with my lips, with my hands, with my writings -
but nothing will ever be enough.
I love you endlessly.
I owe you everything.
Hope I did this right

"It was like every **** second we didn't say 'I love you' was suffocation and letting it out was like finally being able to breathe."
**"I may not understand it all but God do I know the feeling of not being able to stand halfway. It's almost as if nothing is better in a twisted **** way."

I did have to grow up too fast.
I just never realized it until you said it to me.

I said that I wanted the time back, but that isn't close to the truth.
If this was what it took to bring us together, then it was all worth it.
Every single miserable second of it.
I wouldn't erase a single part of the past.
You, a close confidant, a listening ear, a defender, an inspiration, an understanding companion who takes the time to truly know me, and most importantly, a dear and loyal friend to whom I owe so much.
You're one of the three people who has ever even come close to my core, to my soul.
If I altered the past, if I wiped it from the course of time, there would have been no other circumstances under which we would have come to know each other. Your friendship was worth it all.
You're more like me than I ever would have thought, and you've helped me to balance looking out for myself with looking out for the needs of others, which is something I so desperately needed to learn to do because when you met me, I was beaten down and worn out from constantly defending everyone but myself.
You helped me come to terms with the harsh realities I had been avoiding. You aided me tearing free from the veil of uncertainty and internalized fear that I had been so hesitant to rip away.
You've helped me learn to be comfortable with my own company, to be comfortable with the thought of being alone, although you know there are always those loving souls standing behind you.
You've opened me up to new passions, to new experiences, to new ways of thinking that I never thought I would dare venture out into.
I've, without a doubt, never been truly happier than I am now, and even if you don't realize it, I owe so much of it to you.
Every minute of the hysterically loud laughter we share restores a little bit more of the light that once filled my eyes.
For that, I can never thank you enough.

I grew up my freshman year of high school
when the boy I loved fell for a girl who loved girls
when my best friend became my worst enemy
when the nightmares became day dreams

I died my sophomore year of high school
when the pills I loved fell out of my mouth  
when my best friend became my worst enemy
when the day dreams ended the nightmares
I often think about my first two years of high school
So much happened and it hurts to remember
But I knowing where I've grown from makes things easier

"The way that we learn is by facing our sins - ugly as they are -
and seeing what destruction they have caused and
then ridding our lives of them."
