Re-Writes..."Crush"

“i’ve known you for a while now. we met through a mutual person and became friends. our ages were separated by a couple of years and i took a guardian angel role over you. i’ve watched you grow up before my eyes to develop from a young girl into a smart and beautiful woman. like a caterpillar to a butterfly, you’ve emerged from a period of awkwardness and uncertainty to spread your wings for the world around you. i remember that you used to question and doubt your own value. and who’s the one that told you to have patience? that you would soon blossom into a lovely flower. even then, i knew that you would become an attractive lady, with looks that others would kill for. but not just looks, intelligence and a wonderful personality that would only add to your appeal. and now, everyone wants what i saw a long time ago. and now, you see the beauty in yourself. so go out and charm the world the way you’ve crushed me.”

sometime in '00 or '01, i don't remember the exact date.
