She-Her

I remember vividly the first time I met her. She was very busy, but out of respect for a friend, took the time to introduce herself and shake my hand. I saw the look on her face. It said "and you are" and "well, um, nice to meet you." As she walked away, her strut sent a feeling of intrigue and curiosity through my soul. She was in a zone, in her element and she probably forgot about me be the time she got across the room. I thought about her here and there and a few days later, I went to a house party and she was there. I wondered if she remembered my name, because I remembered hers. We watched the game, making small talk along the way. I was simply trying to feel her out and see what she was about. At the time, I couldn't "express" myself to her, because she wasn't my "she,", so I just conversated with her to see where her head was at. She became so bold, that she made a joke about me in front of everyone. Oh yeah, her head was big. I was like "does she even know me like that?" But, nonetheless, I let her have her moment. She felt good about herself.

Over time me and her would become good friends. As I experienced perhaps one of the toughest times thus far in my 24 years, she was there. Her advice and support was need and right on time. She made sure she wasn't a distraction or wasn't getting in the way, but she was and still is always there when I needed her. She became my party buddy. Me, her and others would take over the club. All eyes would be on us. The vibe between me and her was never forced, it seemed so natural, as though she had been in my life for 20 years. It, in a short time, got to the point where I could just look at her and know what she was thinking. When her finger points, I know what she means. When she gets excited, her face gets red.

She likes The Shawshank Redemption. One of her favorite topics of the movies is hope. Hope is a good thing. It's a phase that me and her use often. When she says it, I know what she means and vice-versa. So, the more I get to know her, the more I hope she stays around. I hope to be in her presence. She is very simple, but her simplicity intrigues me. I hope if she reads this, so realizes how much her being my friend means. She makes me smile and I hope it stays that way, if only for a little while.
