Who knows how we first met
not you, not I, it's been too long.
When we became friends
I remember clearly
as a treasured dream.
Hey, do you remember?
Third grade.
You approached me,
Remember me?
No, but that's fine, let's just play.
Kids don't need reasons to be friends.
You approached me first
and I chased you
in endless games of tag
around the black-top,
down the slide,
dodging swinging monkey-gym feet,
we laughed every day.
Hey, do you remember?
We were so close
kindred spirits it's called
better than sisters.
Amazing how we stuck
together through the years
even when Fate and school schedules
kept sticking boring walls between us.
I remember how you got mad
when I invited someone else
but I insisted on staying with you both.
How you'd hide notes in my desk
signed them “your secret admirer”
and led me around in circles.
Hey, do you remember?
When in high school
the Universe finally gave up
with an exasperated sigh.
Finally let us spend half the day
learning from the same teachers
and whispering from neighboring desks.
Remember that silly bet I won in Science?
The substitute was shocked when I cheered
out loud as you groaned.
And remember playing cards
in Art and in Study Hall?
Never keeping track of the score.
Or the time I wouldn't talk to you
or Joel for a week
just to prove I could?
I'd smile and helpfully fetch water and paints
without a whisper of sound.
I remember so much.
I'm sure you remember too.
The teasing, the laughing, the stories,
the Dreams
both past and future.
Now instead of school walls
there are miles between us.
I swear, the Universe is laughing again
but I'll laugh right back
'cause we're still friends
and still finding ways
to keep on laughing together.
Best Friends Forever.

Description:
Yes, another one for school. Supposed to write a letter-like poem to someone you care about. It's about my best friend ever, a sort of tribute I guess, and I wanted to put it up so she can look at it. Miss you lots, Liv!
