You are big!!!

Dear Omar:

Today I saw you with new eyes. Not that I didn't know you were awesome, I just didn't know how much. Ever since I met you I knew you were special, that way of carrying yourself around, being nice and sweet and tough at the same time. I could tell you were smart and even wise, in a very particular way that I could not explain.

Today, were others saw anger you saw the truth, you saw the sadness. I guess you could hear it in my voice and see it in my eyes. To some people it's just hard to decipher me, some even think I am sad or angry when I am just normal and serious (I guess I must have looked really terrible today), but the thing is that you noticed it and you came up to me as an old friend does and you made me talk when, to tell you the truth, I really didn't want to get into details with anyone.

You played a trick on me. At first I didn't know where were you headed with that "trying to guess the song in my mind" thing, you got me there, but then I understood and you are right. It's a life lesson that I had learnt before but the way you put it, the way you tried to get me to understand...you blew my mind. You are right, no one will ever change what I have up there, even if deep down I wish to believe that things are not what they look like, that things are not what they seem to me or that maybe I am wrong, truth is, that if I am already convinced of something, there's nothing that will change it, no trick will change my mind.

Dear Omar, in my eyes, you are big, you did so little and so much with your words. Now, things are not that easy for me, it's hard to do it, it's easier said than done but you are right in everything you said, "I might glue it, but it will still look funky" and I cherish the fact that you took the time to help me, at that moment you showed you cared and that touched me. A big hug and a kiss is not enough, but all this might be...

THANKS!!!
