Captain Cool

I don't know if I will post this, but this is about someone I missed a bit extra today. My version of Captain Cool. I'm not sure if their close friends would describe them the same way, but this is how I view them. 

Steadfast, Loyal, Trustworthy, Protective, Safe, Calm, Collected, Captain Cool. 

I haven't really spent a lot of time with this person, but they are one of my favorite people in the whole world. They don't know this, but I idolize them. Whenever I get the chance to see them, I run into their arms without hesitation, and everything I felt when I missed them flies away. 

As I said, even though we didn't spend a lot of one-on-one time together, their presence was reassuring. It was like there was always someone over there who I knew would come if I called. For a girl just learning to navigate the world, this kind of support system was very important. 

The first time I saw them, I was scared, but eventually, it turned into admiration, appreciation, and affection that stands till this day. There's nothing I can really say, other that how calming their presence was. It was like a shield or protective bubble. 

I realized that I haven't spoken to them in a long time, and I ended up missing them a whole lot, which is why I wanted to write this.
