It was just three years,
but it felt like a lifetime.
Not because of time,
but because of everything you gave.

You weren’t just a friend—
you were my safe place,
my loud laugh,
my quiet strength.

We didn’t need forever
to make something that lasts.
You left a mark,
like sunlight through trees—
soft, steady, unforgettable.

Even now,
when life moves on
and days look different,
a part of me still carries us.

Three years.
That’s all it took
for you to become
a piece of my forever.
