~*~You're the best~*~
~*~Richie,~*~


~*~We have known each other for 5 years! Wow Time flys eh babe? It has been wonderful.. Last year was kick butt becuase we got closer and closer as friends. This year has even been better. You are so awesome babe, I know we have had our NyEh nYeH moments and everything, but all in all your my best friend. Thank you so much for just being there for me babe, I know we have had it kinda rough these last few weeks, but I am deeply sorry for all of that, and I still believe that you are the bestest friend a person, well I could ever have, and I will show you someday Just how much you mean to me! We have listened to each other's problems and even helped. Yea we are teenagers and we have some stupid problems, but no matter what you have always been there to listen to me complain, and I hope I have been there for you. You know I am always here to listen to your problems, and help in any ways that I can. Your so sweet, caring, and always have been a loving friend. I really admire your friendship. Your the one guy that I can talk to about everything that is going on, and somehow you seem to make everything better even if it is just talking me through stuff. you seem to have a way with words... I respect and will always cherish that.. I love you babe

The best is yet to come... Thanks for everything you do.

I love you always

Here is a poem dedicated to you Richie,
well actually two because I can not decide between the two which one to put up on here
"You are always there"

When no one was there to help me
And I thought that no one cared
When the world walked out on me
And I thought I was alone
You were there

When the one I cared about the most
Could care less about me
When the one I gave my heart to
Threw it right back into my face
all broken to pieces
You were there

When the person I trusted
Betrayed that bond
When the person I shared a lot of memories with
Can't even remember to say Hey anymore
You were there

When all I needed was a friend
To listen to me whine and complain
When all I needed was someone
To catch my tears
You were there

When my heart hurt so bad
I couldn't even breath
When I just wanted to crawl up and die
You were there

When I started to cry
After hearing that sad song
When the tears just wouldn't
Stop falling down
You were there

So you see I will be there until the end
This is a promise I can make
If you ever need me
Just give me a call
I will be there just as you were there for me


and The other one is called:
"To My best friend"

This is for you, my best friend,
the one person I can pour my soul out too
Who can relate to me like no other person can
Who I can laugh to no extents,
Who I can cry too when times are Rough,
Who can help me with the situations of my life.
Never have you turned your back on me
Or told me I wasnt good enough
To be your friend.
Or let me down
I don't think you know what that means to me
You have gone through so much pain and you still have time to listen to me.
And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying
And I look up too you because you are strong,
and caring
Even through the worst times
And I hope you know that I am always here
To listen to you laugh and cry and try as hard as I can
To help you in any way
In all the ways that I can be there I will.
And I will try to be at least half the friend you are
To me.
I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out your friendship.
You are in fact MY BEST FRIEND..and no matter what comes a long the way,
I will always be here for you. I love you
