as good as it gets

hi im a guest author on this blog. this is the first time ive tried this so im not sure how to write to you. its a strange thing writing to people you dont know. the owner of this blog has allowed me to write to you because theres somethings that need to be said about him. he wont do it because he does not see the need i do.

he does not see the difference he makes to the friends he has. he goes on about how lucky he is to have nice friends around him and how they treat him but he does not give himself any credit. last night we watched the film as good as it gets together. that film summed up the weekend spent together. just sat there watching him lost in the film and himself was as good as it gets. i have never seen anyone cry so much at a film. i have never seen anyone be so natural with their emotions i could look into his eyes and see his soul. there was nothing else but kindness and hope so raw it was unlike anything else.

he reminded me of the man in the film melvin. a man often not understood who finds it difficult to show his true feelings and can upset friends without knowing it. but through this there is a beautiful person trying to escape who shows it in flashes so true it blinds you. this weekend he has shown himself truthfully all the time. by acting so naturally and been so relaxed and talking openly and honestly. i did not know he could talk so much. the wearing of silly tshirts and painting nails and trying to be life and soul of the party is not him. he knows that we have talked so much. there is a time and place for those things but it does not have to be all the time. there is no need to be extravagant or to shock people. 

he has said it was a shame his girlfriend could not see him like this. i know she would be shocked but in a nice way. through all the times he has been less than nice the times like this make up for it so much. she would have been amazed. he loves you so much. 

you give without understanding babes. thats the most amazing thing anyone can do. you protect friends with your hope and love. when you lay down your defences and just be yourself it is the best gift a friend could hope for. i know it can be difficult for you thats why it is all the more special. thats why i couldnt think of anywhere else i would rather have spent my time. thats the difference you make to friends. never change. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
