| For
the past year, I have had a boyfriend, John Murray.
He and I are very close friends and he is almost a part of my family. My mother likes him almost as much as I do. He knows the things that I like and where I want to go to eat and what upsets me, so that our relationship is very easygoing. John has helped me in many ways. He has taught me about real kindness and caring and loving someone. He is a very good friend whom I don't have to show-off for or put on make-up for, because I know he'll like me just as I am. I've helped him too. I helped him to care more about his schoolwork and about his own family. He's gotten better grades since we started going together. He and I sing together too. When the chorus went to Amsterdam, New York for a long weekend last year, John and I sang a song together while I played my guitar; the audience seemed very pleased with us. |
