Friends.

So, I know I haven’t update this thing in forever. I promise I’ll get around to it soon. Things have been hectic since I got back from overseas. No excuse, I know.

I’m just taking the time to blog, because I’m so deeply touched right now. My friend, Shantel, wrote me a poem, and honestly, I’ve never had someone do something so sweet for me.

I wanted to post this for two reasons: To share Shantel’s awesomeness with you all, and so I’ll (hopefully) never lose this.

Our lives seem so identical,
In a world that lives in difference.
Some people are far too cynical,
Thinking friendship can’t exist.
Too many broken hearts,
Surround these empty streets.
Yet still I know…

So many days had passed me by,
It was getting harder for me to see.
What were truths and what were lies,
And what was important to me.
Too many sad expressions,
Crossed my lonely face.
Yet still I know…

There’s still a reason to believe.
There’s still a reason why-
You’re a part of me.
Baby all you need-
Is just to breathe.
Then you will see,
How much you mean to me-
And know (oh)…
I will never let you go.
