In my notes, I've penned my thoughts of you,
All that I cherish in the essence of you.
Unspoken words I can never reveal,
For fear it could change what's real.
I'd rather protect our cherished friendship's hue,
Than risk losing you, my feelings concealed.
You've done so much, I've done so little,
How could I repay this heart's sweet fiddle?
The truth remains hidden, but here it's true,
It's all because I deeply love you.
Now, let me share the things I adore,
The qualities that make you so much more.
I love that you're my steadfast guide,
Though you're distant, you're by my side.
We're friends, forever that shall be,
You're with someone, not with me.
I adore your hyper, spirited ways,
The restlessness, the dance, through endless days.
You're a vault, my secrets you keep,
In your trust, my confidences sleep.
I know you're there, advice you bestow,
Even if my steps don't follow the flow.
You strive to mend my wounded heart,
Sometimes successful, sometimes we're apart.
It's the thought and action, your enduring grace,
Even when I push you away, it's your embrace.
I yearn to tell you what's in my heart,
But having you is a world apart.
I cherish your hidden, secret smiles,
The ones you wear for miles and miles.
I find beauty in your awkward grace,
Collar up, covering your face.
Your wild side in waters, a thrilling place,
A different you, I eagerly embrace.
You ensure I'm safe, you check on me,
You reassure my worth, no matter how stubborn I be.
I cherish the moments I can't hold you near,
But in our words, you're always here.
And, oh, the cuteness you deny,
In your unawareness, it's hard to believe.
I revel in your fun-loving flair,
You're willing to try what others wouldn't dare.
That time you came along, keeping me near,
Watching over, protecting, without a fear.
The way your hair falls over your face,
You look perfect in every case.
Even when I push you away,
Your seriousness during my dismay.
Your humility when gifts I provide,
And how you stand by, my dreams as your guide.
I love you deeply, that much is true,
But I know, having you is a dream I can't pursue.
Thank you for being the way you are,
In my heart, you'll always shine like a star.
I love you, Aaron. I miss you.
