Her

This is a note for her; for a girl that somehow found her way into my life, just as it was taking a turn for the worst. This is for the girl that I never thought i'd have a chance with; but would end up becoming the single most important person in my life. For the girl that Brought me out of the shadows. For the girl that cleaned up my style and stuck with me even though I had no fashion sense.

This is for the girl that stuck around even though I didn't say a word to her for the first week I knew her, but eventually found myself driving to Madison most weekends just to be with her. This is for the girl that turned my life around and helped me become who I am today; for the girl that stuck with me through situations where most would walk away. For the girl that endured so many late nights, hard talks, tough decisions, long arguments, short walks, and setbacks just to help me turn my life around. This is for the girl that means everything to me. This is for the girl that stayed when most would rather walk away.

This is for the girl that inspired me. Who got me up in the mornings, and kept me buried in my books at night. For the girl that carried me home from the bar; who would wake me up early just to get her coffee. For the girl that made me watch countless hours of girly Netflix shows, and eventually made it a tradition. For the girl that taught me for the first time in a while that I shouldn't be afraid of myself - of my heart - of her.

This is for the girl that warmed my heart, lit up my eyes and left me speechless every time I saw her. For the girl that still gets me nervous every time I see her. For the girl that loved me for who I was. for the girl that bettered me. For the girl that showed me what the meaning of that four letter word really was.
