It all started last night.
I was at Mikkis house
Hailey was there too
and they decided to go on Omegle
Hailey got bored and went to the living room to go draw
and me and Mikki stayed
then this guy came up.
he was obviously from the UK
since his accent was glorious
he was a beaut in appearance too
and we started talking
he was really funny.
Actually more like hillarious.
After while Mikki got bored and left to hang out with Hailey and we kept talking.
He told me about his life as he smoked his second cigarette.
He told me about how he was born in Italy
and how his brother was his best friend growing up,
since his mom was addicted to drugs his brother held the family together.
To make him feel safe his brother sung to him at night.
His brother took him downtown one day because he was hungry
and his brother gave him 20 quid.
Normally his brother would never give him that much money.
He kissed him on the forehead and told him he loved him
and his brother walked down the road a ways
then a car pulled up
and shot him 6 times.
He also told me about how when he was younger there were boys talking about his brother and he was trying to stand up to them
and they attacked him
so he beat them up
and got send to a correctional center for 4 months
since he couldn't prove that they came at him first.
While he was in there he became best friends with his cell mate
and a few days before he got out
he was awoken by an alarm
and he looked over and his friend had pushed his bed against the cell door and hung himself.
He's had a rough life
we have that in common.
He told me that ever since what happened to his brother he loved to sing
and he picked up guitar
and he sung "Hey There Delilah" for me and
and he told me that if he gets anywhere with his life and gets rich or something that he would fly me over to see him
and he would teach me to sing and do a duet with me of that song.
"Hey there Delilah what's it like in New York City
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty, yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely give this song another listen
Close your eyes, listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl, someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good, we'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah, I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away, I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall, we'd have it all

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way

Delilah I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do

You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you"

After talking for hours Mikki and Hailey were tired so they wanted me to disconnect
but
I really didn't want to.
I kept telling them that but she ended up disconnecting and I cried.
I cried a lot because I wanted to talk to him forever.
I wanted to sit next to him and here him sing
and hug him when he felt sad about his brother.
I wanted to be with him. Because never have I found such quality in a person and I'm thankful I have.
It makes me believe that theres hope and maybe I'll see him again some day.
