You
You.
You were just someone I barely knew.
Always doing something, like swimming, or biking,
sometimes even playing basketball with your brothers.
I never sought your attention
or even cared if you knew me.
But somehow you found me.
You.
The next summer came and there you were.
Not just an acquaintance, but a friend.
Not the type of friend that I'm with 24/7,
but the type of friend that I would hang out with because there was nothing better to do.
This wasn't going anywhere.
Just a few jokes and maybe some giggles.
You.
The school year began and you were a freshman.
You spoke with such confidence.
You didn't care what people thought.
In fact people were your forte.
President of your class was a position that could only be made for you.
That's how I found you.
You.
A few hellos and some conversations were only the beginning.
You made me laugh while you talked about "dingers" and "Farmington"
They secretly drove me nuts when you talked about them,
but I bit my tongue because no matter what I said nothing would change.
This was going somewhere.
Somewhere that we could find each other.
