I stay awake at night, 

Thinking about you

I think about your glossy eyes,

Forever sitting still like big oak circles

Your full smile,

Brimming with shiny teeth

And full of genuine joy

The way you slap me on the back of the head,

To show that you care

The way you walk with confidence,

Every step crunching doubt beneath your feet

Your hair, flowing in dark brown curls

The way you make me scared,

The thrill of being your friend

The way you make me cry

Even when nothings wrong

The laugh I let out around you,

The person I am for you

The way were friends

Is so unique and I will never remember you

Any other way

So I write late at night to you,

Hoping that you feel the same way

My best friend has been shifting away from me, so if I end up losing them Ill have something to remember them by.
