A Trail of Galaxies

My Best Friend 💃🏻👯

As children we bickered and

waged wars.

You recently mentioned it was

because I was the favourite,

and you resented me for

being a giddy, happy child.

As we reached our teens,

being part of a large family

we had to share a room.

We begged and begged our

parents to not put us together.

But now thinking back to that

moment, it was a blessing in

disguise.

We learnt about each others

dark secrets, crushes and built

a relationship we did not want

to have.

Over the years I held you in

my arms as you shed a tsunami

of tears, about lovers who did

you wrong and about the friends

who did not appreciate your

soft heart.

Consequently it ended up being

the reason you never went to

prom.

Rapidly, time went by and

I finally got my own room.

Things took an unexpected

turn..

Our relationship hit a long,

drastic pause.

As you began to blossom and

climb the ladder to success. I

let my insides wither away

and my brain decay.

I isolated myself away

within my four walls for years,

that felt like a lifetime of torment.

Seasons went by and we

drifted further, and further

away from each other.

Until one day, I confided in

you and began therapy.

It pushed us together again.

We sobbed but comforted

each other through the storm.

Years passed, I was there front

and centre when you recieved

awards for your outstanding

achievements.

As we approached our 20's,

you hit your peak in life and

you learned the meaning of

unconditional love. Where as

I began to move past the darkest,

years of self destruction and

depression.

Together we built so many

memorable moments such

as; going out dancing, getting

drunk, and going on adventures.

Now we are faced with

another hurdle.

You fell hard for someone

and our parents won't except

him.

They have chosen to cast you

away, because he is outside

our faith.

I will be there to ensure your

stitches remain intact and so

you don't fall apart at the

seems.

After all, you are my best friend.
