They called you spoiled
before they ever called you friend. π
They saw the shine around your life β¨
and thought they understood your heart
without ever looking underneath. π₯
They judged the things you had,
the way you carried yourself,
the life they thought they sawβ
but never stopped long enough
to meet the girl behind it all. π«
But I did. β€οΈ
I met you at tuition π
when I wasn't searching for anybody.
I had gotten used to being alone π,
to empty spaces beside me,
to keeping pieces of myself
where nobody could reach them.
Then somehowβ¦
you walked into my life. π·
And you didn't feel like another person passing through.
You felt like a reason
to make room for someone again. π«Άπ½
You're friendly in a way
that makes silence feel less lonely. π€
You've got those crazy vibes πβ¨
that can turn an ordinary moment
into something worth remembering.
And somewhere between the jokes,
the conversations,
the random moments,
and all the little things
that probably don't mean much to anyone elseβ
you became someone I cherish. β€οΈβπ©Ή
I love you, Shannelle. π«Άπ½
Not because you're perfect,
but because you're you. π»
Because beneath everything people assumed about you
was just a girl who wanted people around her,
a girl who wanted to be understood,
a girl who deserved to be known
before she was judged. π₯Ίπ€
And I'm glad I got to know you. π«
Sometimes I think about how easily
people can disappear from our lives. π§οΈ
One day someone is there,
laughing with you π,
annoying you π,
making memories πΈβ
and suddenly they're just a memory themselves. π₯
I don't want that with you.
I don't want to look back someday
and call you someone I used to know. π
I want to keep you as my friend. π€π½β€οΈ
Through the stupid arguments π,
the random conversations,
the laughter π€£,
the chaos π,
and the days when neither of us
knows what we're doing. π
Even when you start flexing that iPhone π±π
while I'm standing there with my Android π±π
like I committed a technological crime.
But jokes asideβ¦
I'm genuinely grateful I found you. π₯Ήβ€οΈ
Because I wasn't looking for a friend
when you came into my life.
I was used to being alone. π
And somehow, without even trying,
you became one of the people
I'd hate to lose. π«π
So let people keep their assumptions. π€·π½ββοΈ
Let them judge what they don't understand.
I know the girl behind the rumors. π€
I know the girl with the vibes β¨,
the laughter π,
the kindness π·,
the heart β€οΈ,
and the occasional iPhone superiority complex ππ±β
and I'm grateful that life let me meet her. π«Άπ½
