in the beginning,


it was a strange realization,

when unease slowly started seeping into my bones,

the constant attention this (now) stranger asked of me felt demanding.


i'd once have called her my best friend.


like thick, burly roots twisting and forming a cage around me,

i felt uncomfortable and anxiety rattled me,

but you reached in, held me close and freed me.


like a guardian angel, glowing and humming with warmth.


not once have i ever minded how we slowly clung to each other,

our intertwining in hushed giggles, soft voices and stolen glances, 

you began to feel like home.
