We Spoke in Laughter and Tears

We spoke in

Laughter and Tears

Of Dreams

And Memories

Of pain and

Heartbreak.

Bestest Friends Forever

But forever

Took you

Away

On a cold

February Day.

We wrote

Twelve page

Letters

And poetry

On white

Lined Paper

It spoke of

Friendship

Of sisterhood

A bond

That even

Death could

Not fully break.

I want to dial

That long ago

Number

And tell you

Of births and deaths

Of friendship and loss

Remembering you were

The truest

Friend

I have ever had.

I’ve watched

Friendship

Blow away in the dust

While years

After you are gone

The bond is

Still there.

I can almost

Hear you echo

“Sisters of the Heart

Forever.”
