She leaves in four days
We have matching friendship bracelets
Along with matching smiles
And the same features
She will soon be 2580 miles from me
Instead of a thin wall between us
There will be a vast ocean
No more drunk poetry
No more sister days
No more door slamming and angry fights
No more home cooked dinners from her
No more library dates
Or our car washes
Just the forced silence of her absence
And an un-empty apartment that feels completely empty
Without my fellow introvert and best friend
And oh how ironic it is
That the emptiness can feel so heavy
