Three Hours
Just three hours ago
That's when I got the notification
I found you again,
Or rather you found me.
We grew up together
I was only one when you were born
And only two when your brother came
We were inseperable
Our souls tied together
We grew up together
Climing trees by day
And playing pirates by night
And for you I fell
And it hurt like hell
Your brother fell for me
And that was a prime example of irony
We grew up together
Going on hikes every day of the summer
Catching lizards everywhere they were
Cutting up our hands
And exploring every rock
You and I grew up together
Joined at the hips
Souls bounded with the same passion
And every year you were perfect to me
But every year you were ignorant to my feelings
Shortly time and age separated us
Our families began to fight
Forcing our friendship to fade
We slightly rekindled
But burned out again
I cried
For enough days to become years
And it wasn't over one thing
Sometimes when we were younger
It was because you were too blind to my feelings
Too blind to reciprocate them
Eventually though it was over our loss
I loved you so immensely
So passionately
That my love for you never died
Well, eventually it had to
But for years every summer I saw you
You grew deeper in my heart
And you seemed more perfect than last
My love for you was so intense
That it brought me pain
I dreamed of you
I saw you, and you alone
My wonderful childhood friend
The one with all my childhood memories
For you were the first I could call friend
And over the years my passion died
And my love grew with familiarity
So you were always special to me
You will always carry a place in my heart
You brought me joy I never imagined
But you also brought me sorrow
And so much more
You helped me grow
But my fire died
When I finally fufilled my desires
I plucked your first kiss
And that was when I saw you as brother and friend
No longer were you friend and future lover
You are my best friend
No matter how much our relationship fizzled out
You made me see that we can do anything
Anything we dream
Anything we wish at all
You made the world the most beautiful place to be
You are my friend hand in hand
Our souls connected by so much
Together we overcame our fears
And you are still so dear
So thank you
You found me
After I had lost you
You always kept my heart pure
And we experienced the world together
You forever are brother and friend
Thank you
Three hours ago
You reminded me of all the beauty
Just by one simple notification
You lit up my day
Just by knowing you searched for me
And even more that you found me
And just three hours ago
I saw the world with more hope
I felt courageous again
Just like when we were kids
Playing under old willow trees
And exploring things as vast as our young hearts
Just three hours ago
You fuled me
Inspired me
And made me remember every memory
With just one simple follow
Just one teeny notification
Three hours ago.
