There is this guy I know.
Well, this man I know
and I think more about him
then he’ll ever know.

See, but this thing called time
and this torture called distance
beat and pound on our friendship
with utmost persistence.
We lose touch for months at a time, for instance..

sometimes
my insides feel like something’s missing..
like a kidney, or a lung..
something important. I’m always reminiscing
of when we were young,
kissing on the swings that swung on our
playground, just because it was fun…
but we needed practice somehow!

We were inseparable, but look at us now.
The time that we allow to pass between
conversations
sometimes feels like shattered glass,
piercing a beautiful creation that’s 13 years
in the makin’.

And I’ll tell you now, that months may go by
and it sucks, but that’s life. But a phone call or text
and I’ll be by right your side.

And I’ll never give up-
because OUR bond is tough
Like a 2 dollar steak,
except what WE have
would make filet mignon taste fake.

HAHA.. See, I can make jokes,
but let’s be real,
we’re not the average “friend” folks.
We’ve been close since I was
6 years old..
and not once have I felt
your heart of gold grow cold.

You’ve been right there for me
physically.
Mentally.
Anyway you could be
through my hardships-
and I always knew you would be.

And I know that times right now
are hard for you..
But I’m armored up, and I’ll take the scars for you.
Don’t fold your cards, you’ve been dealt a great hand.
Some things will happen that weren’t planned,
but I help you through them the best that I can.

I guess what I’m really trying to have known
is that I realize I’m bad at answering the phone,
and sometime’s it might seem like I don’t really care,
but I want you to know, It’s the opposite, I swear..
The piece of my heart that YOU occupy
can never be replaced by another.
No guy will come between us, no girl friend will either..
NOTHING in this world will be a divider.

David Laratta,
You ARE my BEST friend
And that will forever remain true.
Because I, Amber Corcoran,
won’t allow this to end,
and I will ALWAYS love you.

*Amber
