simple hearts

It's been so long since I saw such a simple, natural form of friendship. Nowadays, it's almost like friendships with benefits or complicated purposes are totally normal, with every single one of my friendships being overwhelmingly complicated.

Becoming friends was so natural and quick, wasn't it? You casually came and sat beside me and we simply started talking. You had such a heartwarming, approachable smile when you greeted me that day, and it was as if I knew you for a long time already. You opened up about a lot of things, shared with me a lot of your stories, and listened to me rant about random things. Before I even realized anything, I was fascinated by how easily you made friends with everyone. It was something I admired so much, even now.

I don't know you very well yet, but I feel very contented around you, and that's enough for me. You do not bring with you hateful feelings of judgement, nor do you overthink situations around you. Your wonderful mindset is everything that I want, and you made me realize how inferior I was when compared to you in these simple aspects.

You brought back lost memories of my childhood, when people simply sat together and made friends with each other. I have a considerable amount of friends, but most of them, just like me, judge people and hate them for certain qualities they have. They bring so much negativity, and although we enjoy our time together, feelings of dissatisfaction and discontentment are always evident. We always have our selfish concerns and pride, and we tend to overthink before we do anything. To us, the environment is full of dangers and hidden intentions. Such awareness isn't neccesarily a good thing, as it brings to us such pain and makes our relationships complicated, so that we always conspire behind other people's backs.

I can't say that you're completely selfless, but you really remind me of how young people are supposed to be. You remind me of how friends are supposed to be like, casually chatting about life and just basically accompanying each other. I, on the other hand, have somehow lost the meaning of friendship amidst all our aggressive competitions and distrust. You would just naturally ask me to chat with you and accompany you as you enjoy your food, and even if that's all I can do for you, I feel delighted and grateful. I've never been satisfied by such basic and simple things before, maybe because I've always taken such things for granted. You provide me with the simplest kind of happiness, which surpasses all other kinds of happiness from materialistic things or any kind of achievement, for it is the purest form of delight that feels the most genuine and real for me. Thank you, for providing me with such unfathomable happiness that I've lost for years.

Maybe you're not aware of it at all, but you've brought so much light to my life, so much joy that I don't think I even deserve. It's the simplicity and straightforwardness that you possess that makes you such a wonderful person to be around. I admire your personality and your qualities so much that I almost want to become you. Even trivial things, like you waving to me when we run into each other, seem to be so amusing because you're able to do it with the immense enthusiasm and warmth that you embody. From the way you speak of yourself lowly, I figured that you might not fully realize how good of a person you are, but you've managed to achieve everything that I want in life. Moreover, you brought back to me the simple delight of my childhood, which is more precious than anything else right now. For that, I'm beyond grateful.
