We were introduced in no unusual way, <br />But I will never forget that first day. <br />He went to shake my hand <br />But saw that they were full, <br />But it really didn't matter <br />The bond was already there. <br />We connected quickly <br />And though I was shy <br />And under the impression that guys have cooties <br />The conversation began to flow <br />And the next thing we knew, we were buddies. <br />Now we are truly close <br />Though so far apart <br />And he could never know <br />How much he's touched my heart. <br />Before I met him, <br />Girls were all I knew, <br />I didn't talk to guys, <br />I didn't really know how to. <br />But he helped me with that <br />And encouraged me when I was down. <br />I know I can talk to him <br />About things I'm going through <br />And when I'm sad <br />Smiling he can make me do. <br />He's really sweet <br />And a truly great guy <br />He can make me happy <br />When I'm ready to cry <br />And even though we're cousins by blood <br />I think of him as more of a brother <br />I can't always see <br />Yet when I need him, <br />He's there for me.<br /><br />beautiful imperfection<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cousins-are-sometimes-the-best-friends-you-could-ask-for/
