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.
