my girl next door

my friend zadia turned one today! it made me reflect on all the good times we've had together over the last year.

since that day we first met in a coffee shop.

i knew you were special from the beginning, zadia.

you were so easy to be around.

even though you've always been a bit rough with me.

but i can take it cause i know it just means you like me.

so i keep hanging around.

showing you my muscles.

and telling you secrets.

always hoping for another smooch.

or a bite from you.

but mostly i like getting to play with you so often.

we make good music together.

share well with each other.

look cute together.

and we make a good team.

our time together is full of laughs.

even though i'm not sure about this new sitting on me thing.

here's to a fun first year with you, zadia—and to many more years to come.

happy first birthday, zadia love!
