Plenty of people know you to be the cheery one,
With the strong personality and leadership ability,
And despite living above average, youāre clothed with humility,
And somehow made a way to reach me.
Our friendship is not smooth-sailing,
Like that friendship thought we loved to quote,
It is tried by the timeās tempest,
And the battering of distance.
Youāve made new friends and I made mine,
We knew how that made us feel,
Am I not enough?
Am I still needed?
But we must not ask for too much,
Nor should we expect too much,
Because big girls must act maturely in every way,
And so we did not own our feelings like we should.
Weāve drifted far apart for many matters,
The pang of being away,
The time and medium taken for granted,
And the stories left untold.
But we wonāt admit it,
Because our friendship is strong,
And weāve gone too far to back out now,
And because weāre big girls now, so we should just try to understand.
Blant conversations,
Frigid helloās,
Unexpressed jealousy,
But again, we are big girls already, right?
Then the tempest came unexpectedly,
But know that I do not rejoice for it,
Because I bore it like itās mine,
And that I also wept and prayed.
God knows how my heart ached,
For the tears I could not wipe,
For the shaking shoulders I could not hold,
For just not being there physically.
But I see His purpose now,
How in tears we become strong,
How that in loss we discover more,
How love exudes wisdom.
I knew you could do it from day one,
But I thank God for the opportunity
To see you in your most vulnerable state,
For then I felt wanted and needed, and loved most.
I wonāt ever get tired telling you
That I love you now more than ever.
And that I miss you
And I love how our hugs are tighter and longer now,
How our thoughts and words run freely,
And how your smell lingers and evokes memory,
And how our affections shown confidently,
Like they should always be.
I may be a married woman now,
And perhaps we didnāt see this coming,
But know that youāll always be my best friend,
My Naomi,
My Jonathan,
My Paul,
