- from “a book I wrote when we met”

This one is directed to one person, but can be taken for anyone in general. All I'm saying is, it applies to everyone I know but specially her You see, this view is one I get to see every day. While I'm working on chemistry or mechanics, I'll look out the window and I'll keep looking out. It's a view I was privileged to get around 2 years ago when we were forced to move out of our older house because the landlord sold it without letting us know. We had 2 weeks before we were kicked out and we couldn't take legal action because we couldn't pay for it. We moved into this house as a last resort, it's a block or two away from the one we lived in but it's smaller and can only hold 3 people. Most of our possessions had to be kept in the old house because the landlord wanted to and so I didn't have a bed but my parents did. I had to sleep on the floor because my parents bed was too small for 3 people and I didn't want my dad to sleep on the floor because of his back and heart problems. When I got my room and I settled in I never took notice of this view because I was in the middle of doing the summer exams, I didn't do well in them as a result of the moving but I recovered in form 5. Now let's talk about the view now that you know the back story. This view represents the reward I get for having to go through 2 months of pain and misery and anger for someone. It makes my days better if I'm having a bad one and it makes me feel comfortable and pleased. I never take it for granted because I know that ay any moment I could leave this building and what I treasure the most from this window I look through every day is this view I get. The afternoon sun is perfect and warms my room and the sunset warms my heart. Never take thing for granted, no matter how much you get to do them or how much you tell yourself you won't take them for granted. Life is short and things end, they end quick. Having you in my life is no different. I get to talk to another person who cares about me. Who talks to me. Who listens. I don't know when I'd see you next in person. It's all hunky dory talking by texts but it's not the same as in person. You end up missing the person and wishing you could get to see them, even though it's only for one day, it doesn't matter. That's why I try to make the most if the time I have with you. If I could protect you or help you every hurdle you can't jump alone, I would. If in a cold day you needed hot chocolate and a reindeer blanket, I'd give one. Not just you, but many people who care for me as much as I care for them, or at least show they are willing to talk even if they're not in the mood to just to make me feel better. It gets to a point when it can get creepy and that's a line I am never willing to cross but the truth is, even though it's been a short time, it feels like a lifetime that has passed in the time span of a few months. If i could give everyone I cared about like I care for you a life time in a limited amount of days, I would, and I'd make sure it's the best lifetime they would ever get. even if there's no extreme things or those things you see people do in movies such as visit the Eiffel Tower or go to the Grand Canyon. Talking and sharing fun is just as good as all of that because talking is what can make people feel better, and that's something you two very well, let's not forget the loving, that's what got us here in the first place. Never take things for granted, even if you can repeat them every day. If people could learn from dogs, we would have a great world and great people. Even a simple view as this image can make you think about life in different ways, that's   why I showed it to you. Because this image signifies my reward from the dark patch I had to pull myself out of.
