Years have passed,
and it feels like we’ve only grown closer and closer.
I remember wanting so badly to be seen,
but missing the true blessing sitting right in front of me.
I couldn’t be more grateful
to see and be seen
by my best friend.
To be heard.
To be loved.
To be enjoyed.
To do this crazy life with
my girl.
I love you very much, KK.
I can’t say how much I’ve needed a friend—
I mean, a sister like this
in this life and the next.
For now,
I am thankful to be loved by you
if it wasn’t for moments like this—
when time slows and memories grow,
faces echo through my mind,
emotions carve themselves into my soul.
to hold these times close
knowing the chaos around us,
when i let my heart beat louder,
shut my worries down,
let my surroundings affirm my existence—
when love leads the way,
i can only grow more grateful for life.
i am no longer the player;
i am in control.
and if you step into my world,
gaze through my mind’s gate,
i hope you see the beauty in my every day—
even when i—
it’s times—
i mean,
it’s moments like this.
