A Yet Unnamed Poem for Laura

When I first met you,
I had no idea,
The impact you would have.

Your friendship is an ice cream cone,
That melts my heart,
And fills me with sugar and happiness.

You're the kind of person,
That people always say,
"The kind of person" about,
When what they're talking about,
Is good, great, or awesome.

When I feel my phone vibrate,
And find your name on my screen,
My face beams,
Like sunlight after a long Alaskan night.

Every hour I spend getting to know you,
Feels like a long summer day,
When we were 6 or 10,
And adventured for hours,
All day and all night,
Until we got called in by our moms,
For being out too long.

It's strange to be your friend,
And to feel so strong a bond,
When I haven't known you all that long.

But I won't fret it,
Or regret it,
Instead I'll just be thankful for the summer and the sunlight,
And the ice cream,
That makes me feel all-right.
