my best friend

an ode to my best friend

i have known her my whole life

okay a bit dramatic

i have known her since kindergarten

so basically my whole life

they say friendships that last more than 7 years are meant to last forever

that better be true

i believe it will be though

my best friend

her hair shifts shades like the seasons

curling just like it did when we were children

her glasses complete her

like they've always belonged on her face

we often get asked if we are sisters

every time we act just as surprised as the first time we got asked that

i don’t think we look alike

but i love that some think we do

maybe it’s becuase we mirror the ones we love-

i’ve heard that somewhere...

it feels true

her house carries memories like milestones in a row

every birthday party

every un planned hangout

every room deep clean

every time her cat has hissed at me

i love my best friend

i love her freckles lit by the sun

i will wait outside her house

checking the time on my phone

she opens the door to the car 10 minutes later

already i start to feel at home

our laugh sounds the same

like echos that somehow mend their way together

i think it heals me

when me and her laugh together

when we do anything together

so heres my ode, soft and true like the years we have spent

may you never stop being you

my bestfriend
