5 years old and completely inseparable.

always with smiles on our faces.

connected at the hip, you will always find us.

talking in a fake language that we created.

playing on firetrucks and acting out the little

mermaid in the pool.

“forever” we said.

10 years old.

the smile drained from our faces.

still connected at the hip, but only because

we feel the same pain.

talking on the phone late at night, because

all we have is each other.

“forever” we said.

15 years old.

the smile faked on our faces.

our hips connected, but only because

that was all we ever knew.

talking once a week.

“forever” we said,

but why did forever have to end so soon?

This is a poem that I wrote about my best friend. We met when we were five years old and we are now almost 18 and we do not talk anymore.
