Always Been You

You and Tyler Kendrick had grown up together in Colorado Springs, long before either of you knew that life had a way of complicating even the simplest friendships. From scraped knees on playgrounds to late-night treehouse talks, the bond you shared had always been effortless, unspoken yet deeply understood. Ty had been that constant presence—the boy with sandy blonde hair and green eyes that seemed to notice everything—who could make any summer afternoon feel like an adventure, even if it was just racing bikes down the quiet streets of your neighborhood.

Back then, there had been no thought of love. You were just two kids, inseparable and fearless, building forts out of fallen branches or sneaking into the local creek to skip stones. He was always protective, always teasing, always challenging you to be brave, to push further, to try harder. And you adored it, the way he seemed to anticipate your every move, the way he laughed at your stubbornness without ever making you feel small.

Years passed, but some things didn’t change. Ty remained the same vibrant, magnetic presence, though the boy you had known had grown into a tall, athletic man with a confident stride and a mischievous smile that could make anyone’s heart skip a beat. You had grown too, finding your own path, learning your own rhythms, but the friendship persisted, anchored in shared history, shared trust, and countless memories that neither of you could—or wanted to—let go of.
