When I am sad. She gives me a laughter that makes my belly ache and my cheeks hurt. When my confidence is shaky. she reminds I stand on the highest pedestal. When I am broken. She makes the moves to uplift and rebuild. When my will is weak & I just can't go on. She knows just what to play...knows just what to say 2 right the wrongs. She stands up 4 me when I'm in no mood 2 fight. In my darkest hour. She is the sweetest light. It amazes me at times. The strength of love. a friend like that. a blessing from above.
We compose hyms 2 our Saviors. Write letters to lovers. But when do we ever go beyond Hallmark or egreetings 2 express to our friends how grateful we are to have them? My bestie and I rarely fight....but there's nothing like a war of the roses to remind you just how much u appreciate the ones closest to you. like a flower, any relationship or friendship takes tenderness & nurturing in order 2 flourish. should u prick ur finger on a thorn...the beauty still remains. u admire the blossom as a whole entity....not the fact u just got pricked. anyway, i digress. I'm just writing bc we all need 2 remember our real friends. the ones you used 2 bathe w. the ones who forged all your absent notes. the one u used to shoplift w. the one u experimented w. the one u used to sit outside the club and drink w bc yall were 2 young or 2 broke 2 drink inside. The 1 who knows ALLL your business & has been so nice not 2 air ur dirty laundry. the one who enourages your swag...reconizes your potential when you've forgotten u have it. the ones who knows your a star & forces you 2 see inside yourself where others can't. the 1 who knows despite your carefree ways...that all your life you've been soft.
I been tellin my circle of friends just how much they mean 2 me. over the past month a few heart 2 hearts have been had. but like most, i neglected the person closest me. didn't tell her what she means. so I dropped these couple lines as a shout out....let my scribes be a reminder. I love you, my sister, my bestfriend forever.
