I've known you
For three years
But it may as well
Have been
Our entire lives

We didn't grow up together
But you grew into me
And I into you
So our lives
Are entwined
Irreversably
You discovered parts of me
That I didn't know
Existed
You never changed me
But you made me
The best version
Of myself

I cannot cast you away
You are not a thought
Or a memory
You reside in my bones
You trickle through my veins
You are a corner of my heart
I owe the wrinkles on my face
To all the times
You made me smile
I'll never lose
The parts of you
That make up me
