Dear Rebecca

Dear Rebecca,

I know a girl
Who lives far away
She makes me smile
Every day
I find her in
My conversations
My laughter’s for her
In all situations
My other friends laugh
When I talk about her
But they don’t understand
The meaning, that word
That makes me grin
When times are bad
That makes me happy
When I am sad
She listens to me
As I cry my tears
Tell her my woes
And she dispels my fears
Such a friend is she
Who lives so far away
To make me smile
Every day
I feel as though
She’s been my best friend through life
Who knew me with scraped knees
And a small overbite
Though I may be younger
She pays it no mind
For to her, I’m an equal
Loving and kind

So Becca, for you,
This is how I feel
This friendship we have
Almost seems surreal
Just last year I had
Naught a friend in my sight
Just my three fingers,
Jack, Sally, and Dwight
Funny how things
All seem to work out
When I needed you most
You seemed to come about
So here’s to fanfictions
That drew us together
And to those kind gestures
I’ll be your friend forever.

With love,

Alexis.
