From the first day you came crashing into my life I knew you were special. At first you struck me as another cocky teen, no better than the next, but the more I got to know you, the clearer it became that there is far more than meets the eye. You hide behind this tough exterior but you’re eyes, piercing in their nature, shout the lines of your life, both painful and vulnerable. Sending shivers down my spine, the honesty and trust you instilled in our relationship was daunting. It was with the distain of the unspoken expectations that had me withdraw in fear of letting you down.
