THE THREADS OF FRIENDSHIP
By Natalie Elias
We’re completely in our own worlds,
Two completely different paths
Yet there’s something completely
Interwoven about us
Tied with loose ends
Sending us on different paths
Still carrying a shared weight
With two distinct futures
Yet with one thing tying us together
The necessity to be understood
How many words wasted
How much energy stolen
How many misunderstandings
It’s why we’ll always find our way back to
Each other
Some invisible string, blood sisters, and the
Incredible beauty of the perfect coincidence of
Meeting you in this lifetime
A shared connection unknown to any other and
A shelter was found between us
My sanctity, my sanity, how dare I hold so much
In you.
How freeing and frightful it is to trust my life with
You. Your number one fan, your partner in crime,
And the girl who will always show up,
Miles, distance, and new experiences will never
Be strong enough to untie all the knots I have
Woven since we were fifteen.
