When we met I knew you not.
When we met I only knew you by hair colors.
When we met I only saw your quietness.
Time went on and I knew you more.
I learned your life.
I learned your smarts.
I learned your family.
School kept us on our toes.
I watched you work.
I watched you study.
I watched you grow.
Life got busy.
I watched you from afar.
I kept tabs on you.
I tried to keep you in the loop of my life.
Shit happens.
I helped you out of heartbreak.
I helped you find your footing.
I helped you see there's more to live for.
You helped me grow.
You showed me a life outside my own.
You taught me a new perspective.
You showed me strength and bravery and courage.
School's a trip, and we made it.
We finished.
We continued.
We pushed ourselves.
Life's still a bitch.
School still keeps us on our toes.
I am so proud of you.
You rose up from everything playing against you.
You made hard choices.
You kept going.
Remember:
You are smart.
You are beautiful.
You deserve the best.
You make your life.
