Mon cerise, which means my cherry, is all I can think about when I think of you. The sweetness, the redness, the juiciness and the wholesome nature of the fruit. For so many reasons, you remind me of it.
I know a lot of people but I don't have a lot of friends. I know a lot of people that will classify me as their friend but I don't have a lot of people I call friends. I have spent a good part of my life unknowingly building up walls and forming shallow friendships. It's not until recently that I started letting people in and it's been a journey to wholesomeness for me.
You are one of the people I let in. Making a conscious decision to let you see me for me. Not hiding any part of myself or the bad decisions I have made in the past, trying not to look like what I am not. It was a gamble. I was scared.
Looking back now to the past almost 6 months of knowing you, I do not regret that decision. Not once have I seen you look at me differently. Not once have I heard you judge me. Not once have I not felt accepted in totality. More than just a lover, I knew that I had found a friend in you.
That's why hearing you say that I am your closest friend meant a lot to me. I melted from within and I was really overwhelmed with positive emotions. Acceptance topped the list.
Ending this piece with the lyrics of a song I really like -
"You’re one of the few things that I'm sure of. You’re one of the few things that I know already I could build my world of and I want you to unravel me.
Come closer.
Come closer.”
Let’s keep going🫶🏽
Yours,
S ❤️
