What I wish I could say, round 3

Apparently this is becoming a tradition. Maybe I should just dare to open my mouth or something...

I don't understand you. And really, that's a good thing.

I'm glad we are on the same page with this whole guys/girls being friends thing. Because, honestly, it is possible.

Really, I don't know what to say here. I want to help you. It's a hard thing you're going through. But I don't know how to help you. Even though I can relate, your situation is different. And, in my opinion, much harder. Just know I'm here for you. And, more importantly, so is your Heavenly Father.

You don't have to try and convince someone you're fantastic. Because you are and it is easy to see.

So, sometimes, you really drive me crazy. I often have to leave because I know if I stay I'll want to shout things at you. Shouting isn't nice. Anyway, I still think you're great. You just got to let it show more. Not just the what-I-want-people-to-know greatness, but the secret greatness too. I know, cheesy. Oh, and hey, here's the ten bucks I owe you.

I'm not kidding when I say you're the best friend I've ever had. After I told you I was leaving, I cried knowing that the chance of us staying this close is pretty slim.

You make me smile. Everything about you. Really, I'm just slightly crazy about you. And, until now, I haven't admitted that. So, this is news to me, too.

I'm sad that we've lost touch.

You've grown up so much! And you've turned out to be remarkable. I never doubted it, though. I love spending time with you and hearing your stories. And I love how much you love hearing my stories. I hope we always stay this close. And, thanks for being such a gentleman. I wish I could have had a friend like you when I was in high school.

No matter what you choose to do with your life, I'll support you. Your choices are unlimited right now. You can do just about anything you set your mind to. Thanks for letting me be a part of your decision making process. Love you lots!

Thank you for always getting excited about my life. I know that no matter how repetitive my stories are, you'll still listen and respond with enthusiasm.

Growing up, I didn't always like you. But I always loved you. And I knew you'd be there for me no matter what. You still are.

So, basically, you're the friend I wish I was better friends with. I think you're awesome. How the heck are you still single? But, really, I'm glad you are. So, I'm selfish. But hey, I get a great friend and we can be single together.

I must meet this man! Even though I already have. And I think he's perfect for you. I'm beyond excited for your future.

Don't sell yourself short. You've got your options open to you, too, you know. Just because life isn't how you thought it would be doesn't mean it isn't wonderful.

That cake you are making smells really good. Plus, you're incredible. You've inspired me more than I could even say.

You are still pretty young. You've got a lot ahead of you and a lot of growing to do. I don't mean that in a oh man, you need to improve way. But in a oh man your future looks exciting way. I just hope you can stop looking so much on the past and see the greatness that is ahead of you.

And, that's all. I think I've told you everything. Now it's your turn.

You once told me - well, shouted at me - something that never left my mind. And as much as it hurt (and sometimes still does) I know that those words are what push me to improve.

Don't lie. It's bad for your taste buds.

Thank you! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
