Heather

The night we met, Renee told you my problems in the hotel
Then we talked a little more that night and after.
Less than a week later my brother got into a car accident.
I had no idea what to do
or where to turn to.
The day after you took me out of English, to see how I was
It might not have seemed like it, but I was glad you did.
That day I mostly hid,
and tried not to be noticed,
but that was hard because everyone stared
even if some of them hadn't cared.
The nights after the musical we talked forever,
but then we started to drift apart,
and I started talking to Renee more.
You seemed too busy so I didn't want to bother you with my problems,
so Renee and I talked when I needed to.
I'd call you once in awhile but you usually had something to do.
Now you have graduated and I don't see you much,
so we don't talk and such.
Talking to you Tuesday was a blast,
when I wasn't crying.
I don't know how you do it
you can get the truth out of me easily
every little bit.
Even though you knew the answer to your question.
You got me to tell you even more,
you promised not to tell
and I trust you.
We talked for over two hours,
I was surprised there weren't any silent parts.
That probably shows how much I talked to you.
But I know you have lots to do
and I hate to interfere your life with my mess.
Even though you say you'll be in the mess with me
that is unfair and I see
and you probably have your own mess.
Heather, you don't have to worry about me.
I will be fine.
They say happiness is the key
and I hope it will be mine.
When I am not happy, I will have myself
but I will call you if I need you.
I know you'll be here for me too.
Thank you, Heather, for helping me
and being a part of who I am today,
in a big way.
You have impacted my life in many ways
and you helped me through some rough days.
Just remember that you, Heather,
will always be a part of who I am and I'll never forget you
or what you have done for me.
