I love you like a sister and I always have.  So please dont think I wrote this poem to make you feel bad.

Standing in your shadow, thats where I have been.

Never "beautiful"
just pretty "enough"
unlike you I never quite seemed to have the right "stuff".

Associated by your name
Recognized by your face alone
Is it any wonder that I'm having problems dealing with a life of my own?

I always seemed to fall in love with boys who wanted to date you; but I put on my smile and whipped out a joke.  Its how I got through.

I was so quiet
those boys never knew
that when I finally opened myself up
I was actually alot like you.

Carefree, loving, fun and sweet
you were a package deal that was hard to beat
So I lived through you
Instead of letting "me" come alive.

But just the other night someone told me
how beautiful and sweet that I had become
Thanks to you I let the real me shine through
mostly in thanks to you.

How I made it through a new school and new job without you I really dont know.  It was hard to stand up, find my self and go alone.

I still need you of course and I always will, but I finally know that I can live on my own and no matter how much I want too, I cant make life stand still.

So thankyou dear friend for helping to find "me".  Without you who knows where I would be.

So here I stand with a life of my own.  Still fearing of what lies ahead and the things that are still unknown.

But thanks to you I know together we can and will make it through.  So thankyou dear friend and always remember I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

Aww, this was very sweet. It's always important to remember to be yourself in any situation. Very nice message. I enjoyed this. Nice work.

I love you too Nikki! No matter what. That's why I gave you the poem the other night. You are the one thing that I don't question at any point in my life. You have always been there for me no matter what. I understand about life without the other one. It hard for me too. I was kinda spoiled and thought there would be someone as cool and understanding as you. But of course there isn't. You are the best friend I've ever had. And before I cry anymore and end up flooding us out of our neighborhood lol I'll go. I love you Nikki don't ever forget that!
