Vixen. Comet
Sunbeams reflect on your cheeks to set the stage that
your peach pie flavored freckles play on.
You draw me in every time I see your work.
You tend to lurk at night, but that’s quite alright.
Your name is just 5 letters, make it 3 if you’re with me.
Fondness for souls and dragons swirl around your carefully arranged taps on the board.
You roar and hoot and purr unlike other humans,
all while being one of the most valuable people I will ever meet.
You took me and permanently rearranged my guts. The only surgery pthat I never knew I wanted.
Tik Tok.. Tik Tok.. the internal clock breaks.
Time stops and you hide inside my ribs for warmth.
Your heart fuses with my own,
despite the differences we have in anatomy.
Sometimes you think something’s wrong and you shut down.
You turn into a machine and go into a soft, subtle reboot.
Rebooting is your way of growing and updating.
I don’t mind this at all however
since you’re the one for me.
Every day I spend with you, I learn something new.
Every night I spend with you, I laugh until I fall out.
I wouldn’t sit down and write you this ode to you and your current 16 years of existence if you were a blank puppet.
You’re the reason for my windows opening and my lights turning on.
I wake up feeling anew because of you so why should I bother with anyone else?
If you read this, just know
I love you through and through. Regardless of the star signs,
regardless of the long distance,
and regardless of you liking corn straight out of the can,
I’m proud of you. And you should be too.

I wrote this ode about my best friend that I will love and adore until the end of time, Vixen. We're only online friends but I have never had a closer bond with someone else like the one I have with her. She's one of the best people I will ever meet, so I wanted to appreciate her.
