Stick 135 - Arm in Arm

 
To Lorraine...
 
Best Friends Forever you smiled
as we sat cross legged
toasting mashmallows in the candle light
tired but proud of our self-made wooden den
 
Best Friends Forever you yelled
as you stretched your arms and dived
off the graffiti bridge outside town
as you sliced through the river glass down
 
Best Friends Forever you yawned
as we worked through the nights, hot chocolate in hand
and prepared for scholarships and final exams
as we curled in a spoon and slept forever and a day
 
Best friends Forever you hugged
as we set our aims high and left our town at eighteen
as we openly stormed into seperate promising adult lives
as we individually dried tears with memories so dear
 
Best Friends Forever
Me here and You there
Me wishing You here
Us always in spirit together Forever
