You are never in the middle.
Always knowing yourself, though you wouldn't agree.
So alive, so bright.
But when you're not, you hide it from everyone.
Sometimes, though rarely, even me.
-
Living life as if you have nothing to lose.
But you do dear.
More than you could know.
Not as alone as you'd think.
You've got people who would die for you.
-
Like a small star right on Earth.
Walking around on Spring feet.
Speaking your weathered mind.
Always so aware.
Knowing me as well as I know myself.
-
A friend turned sister.
That's who you'll always be to me.
We've gone through too much by now,
To let it all just drift away.
That isn't like us at all.
-
Loud an proud.
Calculated and passionate.
If the world fell down on me today,
I have no doubts that you'd be there to dig me out.
Know that I'd do the same.
-
A million little jokes.
Nuances perfectly attuned.
Secrets, and confidence, we'd never betray.
This is the way we've been for forever.
Or at least as long as I care to remember.
-
When we were young you promised.
Promised me when school made us part ways,
That we'd never stray.
That you'd put me in your suitcase, and smuggle me in.
Though we're both older now, I'll still hold you that.
-
You're my rock.
As horribly cliche as that sounds.
Oh, we'll laugh about this gushy poem tomorrow.
But today, today it's heart felt.
Just like the love in my heart I'll always have for you.

Ciao dear
