Hey Stephen.

June 10, 2010.
My best friend of 5 years moved to Kentucky.

Needless to say, it was a very rough day. She left on the last day of school, giving us no time to have one last summer together. I wish I had one more summer to hold on to. When that last half-day was finished, my sister picked me up and drove me to Jenna's house. I held it together until the very end. Then, as we were standing on her front stairs, I looked at her. I knew things were never going to be the same. I just cried.
We stood there and cried for what seemed like a lifetime, and then I had to leave.

My sister and I went to eat lunch and I tried to keep myself distracted. If I thought about it, I knew I'd cry. I did it. I didn't cry. Then, when I returned home, I went to my room and closed the door and I cried for hours. I knew that I would see her again, but it was heartbreaking to know that it would only be in short spurts and spiradically throughout the years.

I didn't lose my best friend, but I could never describe the pit inside when I realized I couldn't hug her. I was lonely.

When she left, I was constantly searching for someone to fix that lonely feeling. I've made tons of new friends and I've hung out with a lot more people, but nothing ever came close to Jenna. Nothing will ever compare to Jenna.
However, there's someone who makes me giggle like she does. He's something, all right. I'm not in love and he's not even mine, but he's amazing. He's nothing short of perfect to me.

"Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving,
but I know I saw a light in you.
As we walked, we would talk

and I didn't say half the things I wanted to.
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window,
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold.
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone.
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel,
can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so,
come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you.
Can't help it if there's no one else,
mmm, I can't help myself.
Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling,
so I got some things to say to you.
I've seen it all, so I thought,
but I never seen nobody shine the way you do.
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name,
it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same.
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel,
can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so,
come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you.
Can't help it if there's no one else,
mmm, I can't help myself.
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me.

Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
and pull me near and shine, shine, shine.
Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
why I should be the one you choose.
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful,
but would they write a song for you?
I can't help it if you look like an angel,
can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so,
come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you.
Can't help it if there's no one else,
mmm, I can't help myself
if you look like an angel.
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so,
come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you.
Can't help it if there's no one else,
mmm, I can't help myself.
I can't help myself."


Hey Stephen.
