"there are those that come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts"

And when did YOU come into my life? Seminary, bitter at my apparent apathy towardst he no-drink policy of our class, YOU knocked over my beverage. At that moment, I would have felt that it was such a wasted of my tasty Dr. Pepper. Now? Well now is a different story. In fact, I would say that I am quite thankful for Brother R for his stupid rule (the ONLY thing I will ever thank him for). Starting a friendship that took root and grew, well as much as YOU would allow it to anyway. Your heart was occupied by another, I told myself not to give up. I didn't. You may have needed me to, even wanted me to, but I wouldn't, I couldn't. trips to walmart, tackling you for a hug in the hall, forcing you to smile when you thought you couldn't, or even didn't want to, THESE were all part of my plan. Now before you think that I was trying to steal YOU away, that was not my intention. My intention was to make you a best friend, and that I would be content with. BUT something was pulling you down, you seemed so exhausted, yet you continued. I was so jealous of the beautiful brunette that helpd your heart. But if she made you happy, I couldn't complain. school ended and the game of cat (me) and mouse (YOU) was over. YOU graduated, and I thought I would never see you again. I am so happy I was wrong. YOU called me one day a few months later, asking me on a date. That date was the best date I have ever been on, no offense to those of you who have taken me on dates. Seeing a movie, laughing, getting ice cream, laughing again, then back out on the grass, talking about life, I was myself. Two streaks of light flashed across the night sky, shooting stars. We both made wishes, and I'm not sure what YOUrs was, but I wished that you would find happiness. Through all the sadness over previous months, and the selflessness you had, you deserved to be happy again. I believe that wish came true, and with the blessing of including me, YOU seem to be happy. And along with your happiness came mine, I haven't felt this good in a long, long time.
Ever since that night, I couldn't go a day without talking to YOU. Hanging out as often as possible, still wasn't enough. Then one night, high above the ground, YOU asked me a question, one that went far above my head. Embarrassing enough I missed the target answer. Then when attempted another night, I understood fully what you were asking. GOAL ACHIEVED! YOU are so easy to talk to, always there for me. When YOUr past has risen from the dead, taken zomby form and snapped at me, you come to the rescue, and make me feel better. When I come home sick from school, YOU visit me and let me fall asleep on YOUr chest. When I cry, you hold my face in YOUr rough hands and wipe away the tears rolling down my cheeks. What more could i ask for? All I need is YOU. YOU were the one that inspired me, to become better, happier, more religious, more EVERYTHING.
