You have always been the one to tell me the truth.
Going way back to high school days of our reckless youth.
I’ve seen you grow and change into the man I admire you
and everything about sparked a poem you’d inspire.
You give me hope but also a reason to try.
Sharing everything you are and what gets you by.
Though my laziness and moodiness can sometimes push you away.
It will always be you who I want to vent to at the end of the day.
Time away from you almost doesn’t exist.
But this time life had to intervene and assist.
In that time the days passing felt like forever.
All I wanted was for us to be together.
Share clever inside jokes that are ours and ours alone.
Act like kids infatuated with each other but tell the world we’re grown.
Sometimes I feel as though I can’t stand as tall as you.
But having your shoulder to lean on somehow helps me measure up too.
I want to be the one to rub your arm and kiss your cheek.
I hope to give you strength when the world makes you feel weak.
I want to hold you close and call you from afar.
Embrace who I know you can be and love you for who you are.
