DEAR ELIZABETH "QUEENIE" DEL ROSARIO,

I am writing this a few hours earlier, just because.
HAPPY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY.
I wish you all the best. May your dreams come true. And live life to the fullest.



If I didn't know you as well as I do now, I probably would say that.
But I do know you somewhat, at least I think I do, despite the lack of communication these past few months.
Happy Sixteenth Birthday.
You are a year older, yay for you. Age is just a number, baby. To me, you were already sixteen. So in my eyes, you are about 17, haha. You are one of the most beautiful people I know. Inside, and out. You stick to your values and you stand up for what you believe. When you set a goal for yourself, you stick to it and don't back down. Your persistance is one of the things I admire most about you. I'm so glad that you are in my life. I can never thank you enough for being there for me, when no one else would be willing to waste their hours of sleep on me when I was hurt. During ne of those nights I remember you said, "I won't let you fall." I think you are the only one whose said that to me and meant it. Oh my gosh I am tearing, haha. Oh no, a tear just fellfrom the right eye. That means it's a tear from happiness! Anyway. Remember when we met? I came up to you because you were talking to Mandy. You looked like me so I figured that we could be friends, maybe. The first thing I said to you was, "Hi! I'm Erica! Will you be my new best friend?" And you replied with, "Sure! I'm Queenie and I like penguins," or something along that line. After that, we started to be around each other more and discovered that we were sort of like twins. We had the same hair, the same yellow shirt from pacsun, and the same height. You became a big, big part of my summer. We became so close. We spent countless hours comforting each other, TALKING ABOUT BOYS, and talking about whatver. Oh yeah, did I mention boys? I've never talked about boys with anyone as much as I've talked about them with you. You were so fun to talk to, and you still are. Remember when we snuck out and went with Tonetti and Ronnie to elbow road, the parking lot, and walmart from like 3-5? I've never had that adrenaline rush before. I'm glad that I suggested to get you for our adventure. We don't have as much memories as I'd like, but HEY, that means we have to CREATE MORE! I feel like you were such a great part of me, and since I feel like we're drifting at the moment, I really miss you. I miss it when you serenade to me. But that is why I watch your videos when the lack of your presence becomes almost unbearable. I hope that doesn't sound lesbionic to you. But that is ironic to say since we do have a lot of lesbionic-type moments which I do enjoy. But that is besides the point. In the smallest amount of time you did become someone I could count on. You are truly a blessing and I appreciate you. I'm glad I'm your friend. I hope your dreams of becoming famous do come true! If that happens I'll create a secret Queenie shrine in my closet. haha jaykay. Your voice is beautiful, your face is beautiful, and your internal organs are beautiful. I hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday. I love you! :D
