Dear Secret Person,
Once upon a time you were just a mere person
No one special, another guy I exchanged smiles with
And a few fun laughs along the way
That is until one day I truly listened to your words
That day I learned that you were no longer that mere person
Rather a character I found positive attributes in
So I strapped myself in for the fast ride of your life
Knowing the sharp turns and unexpected bumps would drive me ahead in life
Slowly I opened up to you allowing you to view the naked me
Without my known persona and masked disguise
And in return you shared your goals, hopes and ambitions
Trusting that we could help each other grow hand in hand
We became trusting friends that Aristotle described
Meaning our true selves and actions bettered each other
A true friendship is when two can learn and encourage one another automatically
And unknowingly we became just that
I am still young and have many years of learning ahead
But because the opportunities I found in you, I grew
You allowed me to learn, question and think without criticism
Yet you told me when my quest to know all went too far
Our future is as certain as a flowing river
But the possibilities are endless
I pray each night I dont take your help for granite, because
You opened my eyes, gave me the key and taught me to drive in my own direction
With all my love and care,
The appreciative person
