I knew you would become me.

The one that overcame everything put against.

Tried and tested like one put on trial.

Becoming everything I needed to succeed.

My own best friend and strongest person I know.

Only God and I know everything you felt to get there.

***

I knew you were my future.

I have felt it since time in memoriam.

Back when I felt that special invincibility.

Covered by a divine force that would not let me lose yet.

That hope was the roots of it all.

Growing to what I see inside you.

***

No, I never saw my environment as this one.

Maybe I imagined better or perhaps I saw worse.

I was never sure of where I could end up.

A haze that I could never divine through.

I was only sure of that precious potential.

That it would not be put to waste by your calculated hand.

***

I am so proud that you became me.

Not as pride or narcissistic attempt at ego boost.

Out of love of what you have been through.

Care for the small curious child that saw you before you even arrived.

All the past failures hold no weight against that child.

Thank you for existing.
