It's gonna be Emma's 15th Birthday tomorrow. So, I just thought I'd write her a little something and dedicate it to her. Glad it made her Mum and her tear up! ;)
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to this little angel,
Happy Birthday to you! ;)
(Just for starters).
It's been quite some time now since I'd thought about writing something to you/for you, truth be told. But somehow, life got in the way of my plans. As usual. And with my finals going on and all, it does limit my time to whip up something really special for someone like you. But now, with excuses left behind and thoughts swirling around in my head just waiting to flow through my fingers and into this message, I now shall begin.
Firstly, you need to know how just how much you are loved. From the very first time I met you, through your brother, I believe you only saw me as your brother's type of friend and not yours. Maybe's because I never really did spend enough time getting to know you and you me. Maybe at first sight, we were both two shy individuals. But then years past and feelings and bonds grew a lot stronger. You were best friends with my sister and me your brother, and that's how we usually got along.
Then, slowly down life's road, I got to know you a little bit more. You'd come over to hang out and sometimes we'd chill at a mall or something. We did bond. We gave each other a chance. And voila...
I realize I'm not exactly the Best Sister material, I don't do things the way they should be done and treat my sibling the way they should be treated. It's just the way I saw the people around me treat each other that I learned from. To me, showing love to someone who isn't your sibling is so much more easier. Hence, the many pet brothers and sisters I have. And I realized just how much better I treat them.
As teens, we go through a hellhole of problems everyday. And in a certain moment, we feel as though the whole world has turned against us and nothing is the way we'd hoped for it to be. That's when we really need someone to turn to. Someone who's gonna be our pillar of strength to uplift our sorrows and mend our broken hearts.
I don't claim to know everything when it comes to this. I went through hell myself when I was growing up and slowly discovering myself. Luckily I had good friends who'd put up with all the crap i went through. The thing is, I didn't mind it all happening to me. Lessons were learned and bridges were mended. But I told myself, "I'd rather go through this than letting my loved one's suffer from this too. And if I could just prevent them from suffering from a broken heart or ease whatever plight their going through, I would". So, here I am.
I may not go through the same things you go through and may not be able to walk in your shoes but I'm here and I love you - not because you're my best friends sister or my sister's best friend - but for who you really are. You're an awesome, AWESOME girl. You're beautiful despite what you really feel when you look in the mirror every morning. You're strong and blessed with so many loving people whom love you. If you only give them a chance to prove their love for you. Whenever you need a shoulder to cry on or a ear to listen to everything, you can come to me.
I'm here and ready, just reach out. Okays, love?
Here it is, all written up and done! Hope you loved it.
Happy Birthday sweetie!
P.S - Fifteen by Taylor Swift is dedicated to you.
Lots of love on your birthday, Krissy ♥.
