in truth
the things that i should've said, the things that i didn't. - for jake, you deserve it.

a/n: for jake, my best friend and true companion, as strong as a raggedy doctor needs his TARDIS. you're amazing, and you deserve it.

happy birthday, love.

in ways

you see me as a friend
in others i know
are more than enough

i can feel your eyes staring down
the awkwardness in stature
and i knew
childhood is leaving us forever

the thoughts are complicated now
time passes by quickly
we've grown up with each other
being joined by emmy,
who is the glue that holds us together
for most days.

but we are strong
in friendship
and bonds of true loyalty;
love.

these are the words that i never said
the words i never will try again
the words painfully aches in my mind,
i'll say:

i - l-o-v-e y-o-u

- because you deserve a little more love in life, sweetheart.
