Brief conversation ignited here and there. but little did I know, you had so much to share. Shy from possible rejection, and fear of words leaving your mouth all jumbled. The fear was evident in the way you carried yourself, guarded from what may have hurt you before, leaving you crumbled. You forced yourself to open up and write me a letter. The paper was your release, and in choosing me to write to, I won't ever really know the reason, but all for the better. I see a friendship in the making, you have drawn yourself closer. I'll admit, I needed this friendship too, more than you will ever know. Someone who deep down wants to be happy and at peace with life. While everyone is lost the chaos, we are still, appreciating the present. Looking forward to the next time we meet, for it is your company that I truly enjoy.
