To my angel

To my angel
How we met, why we met is such a coincidence
can it be attributed to anyone but God
You came into my life in my most vulnerable time

We became fast friends, soul mates, sisters
I never had a sister or someone that I could count on as much as I do you
You make me smile when it seems the whole world has made me cry
you pick up the pieces when I'm just too disoriented to care anymore

How is it that you have so much love in your heart?
You do so much for me, and I get angry sometimes and take you for granted
I'm sorry to be so short, it's just my intensity sometimes counterbalances your mellowness
You are so together, so thoughtful, laid back

We are like two sides of a coin
We balance out all that needs to be fixed in each other
My intensity is mellowed by you
Your mellowness is stepped up by my intensity

To look at us, it is obvious that we aren't mirrors of each other
but that's what makes us great
WE see the beauty in each other, we reaffirm each other's value
no one can explain why we met each other, only that our lives would have been incomplete if we hadn't

Do you remember the day we met?
How quickly we got to know each other?
How naive we were back so long ago
who knew we would see each other this far

But the time has come when I will be leaving our friendship
taking it to another level, to another state, to another challenge
I will be leaving Evansville, the place which we roamed together for so long
the place that you introduced all the intricacies of it to me

Your smile comes through as if you're heart is poking through
I've never understood it, and there's no time or reason to question it
as your mom says, you are an old soul
and if there is such a thing as reincarnation, we knew each other in another life

remember in vanilla sky, when they say they'll meet in another life
i'm sure we'll do that
we have shared too much in this one to just let each other go in death
it's only reasonable to continue forever

in another life, we'll continue on as we have, but maybe this time we'll be somewhere exotic, fun
maybe in spain or mexico or even italy
maybe we should brush up on our spanish now
and maybe by then we will have perfected the art of finding our equal in a male

jamie-i truly feel that you are my equal in all the essential ways
I've never met someone who I can share so many things with, and honestly believe that I'm not being judged
am i this to you?
i truly hope so

sometimes i wonder if I'm the kind of friend to you that I should be
you have done so much for me, shown me so much love, and i try to reciprocate
I want to be your umbrella in the rain, your shelter for the storm, and your sunshine when you need a tan
Just ask and I will be there

This poem is just to say thank you
and to remind you that I know you're my angel, sent to me by my mami
it's wierd, but you remind me of her in so many ways
and that makes me smile

jamie-no matter where our paths may lead us, or how many roads we have to travel
I know that we will always hold a special place in each others hearts
our paths crossed for a reason, and we will always remain close no matter the distance
even when you're eighty you'll still be my angel and i'll still love you
