So
time flew.
Faster than we thought
it ever could.
Used to meet up
for school
every morning.
Kept the others talking,
anything but boring.
Nothing mattered
when we had each other.
Stuck through storms together
like jelly
and peanut butter.
Heartbreaks.
Tears.
They came,
and they went.
Even then—
time was still well spent,
if it meant,
we were spending it
together.
When my head fell down,
I had my girls around
to spin me around,
and turn my frown.
I wouldn’t
change
a
thing.
Growing.
Learning.
Losing.
Enduring.
I watch you now
with children of your own.
Soulmates found.
Apartments.
Engagements.
Dreams made from scratch,
because you knew
I had your back.
Twenties tested,
some things hurt so much
we never digested.
When using my feet
was already too much,
you kept a melody
and a steady heartbeat.
I never forget
when all we had
was a few cents
and love
as tight as a corset.
Always,
on top of the world
when you and I
were just a couple of girls.
I hold you
in high regard.
No matter how
the seasons change.
Priorities differ.
I could never be bitter
about the way things sway
because I am
who you made me
today.
