I will never be able to drink iced coffee again 

Without envisioning your smile and how 

It instantly brought light to any dark situation

You always wore a sweatshirt because you told me 

You felt cozy inside, something I never used to understand

But with you, I made the effort to 

How could I not know how great of a person you are? 

I always thought the first time never worked out, that

It would go the exact opposite of how you wanted it

How could I not know that behind your hard exterior 

Was a great personality, like a caterpillar waiting to come out 

Of its cocoon and turning into a beautiful butterfly

You were never the loudest of the group, you always

Kept to yourself, you let things happen naturally instead of trying to

Force them. Sometimes I think of how we met and I have to laugh 

Because it became something much more than what I was expecting 

I feel like I owe you something for bringing so much joy in my life

And for teaching me the importance of self worth and life in general

As we sit and watch the stars, not knowing what the future entails, but knowing that 

We’re going to spend it together
