Ziip-e fljy!

This was just written to me by a very good friend of mine
I thought it was so beautiful that I wanted to post it in my blog

I just realized putting why I like you into words might be a bit difficult
but here it goes....

why do I like you,
you care,
it doesn't matter who you're caring for, you care,
care till it hurts you and you cry all alone,
you might not care for me but you can really care for someone,
very few people can anymore

you love animals,
you have the wisdom of a child and the understanding of an adult,
you have an incredible sense of humor,
you are a socialist
there's so many things I could say about who you are that I like
but they cant fully explain why I like you so much.
if you showed me someone who was exactly like you in all these things
I would prefer you,
why?

because I think you have a beautiful heart and mind
and maybe because of those who hurt you,
because maybe its the feeling you get
when you find a treasure they have overlooked,
something greater than they could all even hope for
that they cant see the significance of.

maybe it´s because not matter how bad it is you'll still love life
you can heal, recover from anything
all you need is a little care
but you're resilient,
you never give up

maybe its because I understand a lot of the things you've been through,
everyone says they understand
but I've actually been in a lot of the places you've been,
lost the same things,
fought the same demons,
I know how hard it is and I appreciate you all the more
for being who you are
and if you ever need a hand
I want to be there like no one was there for me

maybe I like you because I can see you after the scars are healed,
in a place you cant even see yourself.
maybe I love the way you see the world when you're not in pain

and most of all I like the things you'll never notice,
the little things
like the way you never check your spellings and post with so many errors,
it always puts a smile on my face

or maybe I like YOU,
everything I know,
everything I don't know yet but hope to find out,
all the things I can help with,
all the things I am powerless about,
YOU as a person
