Cheers to us I'll say,
Even towards the obvious end.
Fashionably spelled with
Acrylic resin across my skin
As a daily reminder,
As if I would forget
Beauty's creator.
Your power of alchemy
First revealed to me
As a warped hole inside
A 6th grade English
Composition book.
The absence of friendship
Invoked your name.
You've epitomized
Loyalty ever since,
My work testifies to it.
I couldn't be any
More grateful.
