On my fourteenth birthday, you asked me what gift I wanted, a telescope or a brand-new football. I shook my head and continued to write.

I don't want anything.

I just want you to be my friend.

Play chess with me.

Go for an outing with me

Read with me.

Exercise with me ...

I don't need anything.

I want nothing more.

I just want you to spend more time with me.

Spend these happy hours with me.
