When I met you
You seemed just like anyone
We ate together
And we had fun
I would see you around
Every once in a while
We'd talk casually
And I would just smile
We would talk about
Things from moods to books
From the way I sing
To the way your hair looks
But after a while
I realized you were different
You weren't the type of person
I'd usually call a close friend
You joked a lot
And you could read me well
So I felt I could be myself
Without my shell
Lines had to be drawn
Boundaries had to be set
Masks had to be worn
But that all changed when we met
My facade was broken
And I was more open
I could tell you when I was afraid
Or when my heart was kinda broken
So I talked to you everyday
Without my knowing
I enjoyed your banter
And the laughter you'd bring
I savored every moment
From the messages to the late night calls
When we were eating at fairs
And when we had weekends at the mall
So I say, "Thank you for all the moments I cherish."
Every memory I hold dear
Each of our conversations
I know we'll still be friends after so many years.
