here's my latest and greatest.

A year ago,
I didn't know your name.

A year ago,
I did not know your face.

A year ago,
I passed by you in the hall without giving you a second thought.

A year ago,
I did not know the pleasure and delight you could bring to me.

I did not know the things you could show me.

The things you could teach me.

But now,

I see life through your eyes.

I feel your pain and suffering.

I now know why you choose to hide from the world
in the darkness and shadows you enclose yourself in.

I receive your knowledge
in the pleas you send out.

I now know more than the good side.

I am exposed to the evils.

And it kills me.

But still, I choose to be with you.

*this was inspired by, and is dedicated to, an accidental friend. One who I would never in a millions years wish that I hadn't become friends with. I think you know who you are. (p.s. sorry if I twisted things a bit. It's my imagination, you know?)
