If you need someone to talk to, Im happy to be that person.
I remember when I first saw you at work.
When I found out we were going to be teaching P.E.
Wendy Liu
together, I was a huge bundle of nerves.
I was intimidated and figured you wouldnt give me the time of day.
In the beginning, it was typical small talk, but it wasnt long before we broke the ice.
You were definitely more introverted, and I hijacked a lot of the conversation, but you always listened.
Even though I talked more, you opened up to me about a lot as well.
You restored my faith in men.
You proved to me that good men existed, and that your kindness was unconditional.
You are the kind of guy who would lead P.E.
so I could use the time to study my notes during finals.
If you need someone to talk to, Im happy to be that person.
A lot of people feel this way, they just hide it.
You always listened and validated my feelings, but offered me the bright side of every situation.
You reminded me of my successes when I needed motivation.
You remembered key intricate details of stories that I told you, proving that you paid attention.
When it comes to your wife, you do even more.
You are the kind of guy who works three exhausting jobs to get to pay for your wedding.
You are the kind of guy who is dependable, respectful, and caring.
You have set the bar for me.
Which is true, because I have and would do all the same things for you.
Thats what a friendship is, and that is what a relationship should be too.
That is the kind of friendship and relationship that every person deserves.
We deserve someone who listens, validates, and motivates us.
We deserve someone who makes us laugh and cry tears of absolute gratitude for their existence.
We deserve someone who makes us believe that the world is good.
We deserve to be treated the way we treat others.
There were moments I spent agonizing over the fact that you were taken.
I was cynical and quick to say, All the good ones are taken.
Now I realize how lucky I am to have you in my life at all.
You showed me what I truly deserve, and that was the best gift of all.
