valuable

two of the coolest people i've met in recent months, to me, only exist in my mind. in the words that i read. and in my heart. it's funny how you can fall so hard for words. you get caught up in every little thing that's written, constantly waiting for more. i knew something of them. i knew i liked them. i knew that i could easily relate to them before i even had a face to go with the words. before i even heard a voice. i agree that a lot of people find it hard to accept compliments without searching for an underlying motive. sometimes in a life filled with many amazing people you can still feel somewhat alone. no matter how long you've known them and how much you love them, they aren't always enough. so when you find someone out there that you have an interest in, no matter where you found them, you feel like making an effort to hang onto them. i dig people who are as passionate about music as i am. i have a weakness for people who can make me laugh, so few do. i love people who send me a text message for no other reason than to bring a smile to my face. when i find someone like that, i want to know as much about them as possible. i want to crawl inside their head and find out what it's like to be them. i cherish every moment i have with them in my life, no matter how far removed they actually are from it. they're not here in real time, but in such a short amount of time i find myself placing them up on the same shelf of adoration that i've had my close friends on for years. it takes an effort to try and keep up some sort of a relationship when there are so many obstacles involved. sometimes you take things like that for granted. they reply to an email, a text, a phone call, and you don't think much of it at the time. but then you take a step back and look at it for what it is and you realize that these are some pretty amazing people. making a simple effort like that makes you think that maybe you matter to them just as much as they do to you. they are valuable to you, and you hope they realize that.
