Dear first friend
Dear first friend
The moon has orbited the earth about 6 times
Since you’ve been gone
I know this because every night I like to think that were walking across the moon
As we talked about when we were young
The moon goes through 8 phases
And then starts back at phase 1
Much like you, except you’ve been through 17 phases
And now you’re back at phase one
A lot has happened since you’ve been gone
my heart is broken
I’m still putting the pieces back together
My aunt’s body rejected her
And now she lives amongst the stars
I spend a lot my time thinking about you
If you remember me
Or if your mind has become an empty space full of unacknowledged memories
I wish I could text you,
Call you… see you… hug you
But instead I just browse our messages through a tear stained screen.
You are keeping me going.
It’s amazing to think
That even without you by my side
I feel you.
And I know you may not even know my name anymore
7 years of friendship becoming a raisin in the sun
But I know you’re fighting
It’s funny
When the what if becomes what is
