lean on me..

Have you ever had that person in your life that is there for you from day one, and no matter how much time passes, they're still as down for you as they were before? There's that unspoken bond, a bond that can't be put into words, but it's there, it just fits.


Shawn London, that's my person. Lol, she's by far one of the goofiest people I've ever known, and while we've never been SUPER close to the point of being inseparable, she still knows me inside and out, as do I her. My Junior year, we had child development together, and that was our "talk time". Advice was passed from me to her, and from her to me; we valued each other's opinions. She graduated that year, but when Senior year came around, I called her everyday to tell her everything; latest bullshit, to the latest jokes. I was dating Jovan from mid Junior year to early second semester Senior year, and couldn't nobody tell me that he wasn't the love of my life. Shawn hated him, along with my mother, both of them constantly telling me i could do better, and to drop the dead weight. When me and Jovan's relationship fell apart, me and Shawn's relationship faded too, why, I still haven't quite figured that out, but it happened.


We talk now, off and on, text messages here and there. Regardless of what time it is, or how long it's been since we've last spoken, she's there for me, and I'm there for her. From day one, when Whitney introduced us in passing, she's made it a point to extend her help hand if needed.


I can't say that I have too many people like her in my life, outside of family, and I value that. Like I said, there's just an unspoken bond; it can't be touched, bruised, or broken.


Shawn,
you have so many dreams and aspirations, don't ever let go of any of them, please. Make sure that girlfriend of yours takes care of you too, always, never forgetting how remarkable of a person you are. You love with your whole heart, and you care with all of your soul. More people should be like you, a lover of love; an appreciator of life. You've never not once been there for me, whether it dealt with matters of the heart, or just needing somebody to talk to, and for that I thank you. Other than my parents, you're one of the best people I know.♥


Sincerely,
Marilyn Ca$h
