Merry Christmas, but this is not a Christmas gift
This is more of an appreciation of you, Janet
I can't make you art, and I am sorry that I can't
I am sorry that I can't give you something other than my words
So I'll do my best to tell you how much you mean to me
I don't think you'll ever know how deeply you matter in my heart
and I don't want to express my feelings in some generic sort of way
I've made many friends this semester, if I had to count it'd probably be a strong 40
40 people that I am willing to say are my new found friends
Yet leaving after this semester I will only have 1 reason of why I'll be sad to leave
I only had 1 person that it was hard for me to tell I'll be gone soon
I only took one person to the side to tell them about next semester
There's only 1 person I've been trying to see more of before I go
and no this is not some big build up to say some one other than yourself
JANET you are the one person that I will miss
The 1 and only person I feel some anxiety to leave
My very being aches a little thinking
knowing that I won't be able to knock at your door
I won't be able to come and hold you up
I won't be able to look at you and wonder what you are thinking
I'll no longer be able to sit next to you in the MPR or anywhere
You have been if not the best person I have met in a very long time
You make me feel wonderful when I'm feeling terrible
Maybe you did lie to me the first time we met, but we're way beyond that
Maybe you do always walk ahead of me
Maybe you do always make me feel awkward in front of other people
but none of that matters, other than it got us to where we are
Two people that will forever have memories of each other
No matter how much time goes by I will always know Janet Kung
We will always have our poem of lovely improv
The enjoyable meals of me doing everything for you
and our luxurious night at La Traviata
The end: I love you Janet
Some day this will be posted I assume.  It is 12/18/13 and today is the last day before everyone moves out and goes back home for winter break.  I will not be coming back after coming home break, instead I will be taking the next semester at the community and life here changes in years so I will never be able to have this experience ever again.  Janet Kung the only person I will miss.  I love her and she is wonderful.
