As your bestfriend
of 24 years,
I am required to know
everything.

So when you broke your arm,
due to a baby tree
and a few too many cupcakes
I was the first to know.

We sat alone in your basement,
high on soda and frozen pizzas
and the highscore to your ridiculious video game
was finally beat,
I was there with you;
The first one to know.

On your birthday
you were finally,legally,
allowed to drink.
You got so drunk
you called
"the love of your life",
also known as your mother;
I was the only one to know.

And,
When you fell in love,
Everyone knew.

I sat up all night and wondered,
wondered how I hadn't seen it.

How had I not seen that
all along
I loved you,
and you loved me.
all along // a.s.
