Why are you so lovely?
I’m happy, yes.
I mean I guess.
I frolic and play in fields of dismay.
Shadowing the things that I wish I could say.
Chewing on soggy bread,
Trying to get something through my head.
But the fear, it overpowers.
What little things I, as a coward could think.
But with you, I’m not so blue.
It feels like cotton candy clouds
On a brightly lit sky.
I know what it’s like to be in your shoes.
And you for mine too.
Your hand in mine,
It’s just divine.
I didn’t think sadness was ever real
Or out to play.
Oh, may you stay?
Why must you go?
There’s so much for me to show.
Please, not now.
This has been more than my fantasies could dream.
How, how do you do it?
Flip happy to sad like a switch?
It’s only been a few years
Yet you feel like a lifetime.
One that I must live.
So, is it okay?
To be with me.
I’ll do better than anybody.
Except you, of course.
It is quite literally sourcery to me
How you keep me so happy.
Alive, and happy to thrive.

I wrote this piece to the four friends I first had in my first year of middle school. Even if they don't know it, they mean a lot to me and I hope this shows them that.
