Friends Like Us

Who knew when it was cold, snowy and new, that I would meet someone like you, someone who expanded my heart and saw right through. Winter felt like Summer and the Earth felt different with you by my side. In a way that the soil that was meant to be hard and rough, felt slippery and soft beneath my fingers. When I was a simple coin among the stack of bills, you picked me, when I was sinking under the ground never to be found. When your smile and my smile was the only thing we could see, and our laughs were for eternity. I thought you were my soulmate, your pain was mine and mine was yours. Never did I ever feel that way before, I opened up my mind to you, spilt my words. You knew I was a silent person, with a tight lipped smile and not a verse. A couple years go by, with you tight by my side, I sheltered you in my arms, opening warmth further in my heart. Unbeknownst on the tales of the future that would slowly drift us apart. I did not recognize myself anymore, when your hand clung onto mine, or you smiled so wide. All I knew is that I was drowning further into the tide. My mind closed up and I still smiled my smile, but my pain was mine and yours lingered on me. My soul stayed mine and your mate forever yours, I stood from afar a simple coin, fighting, arguing trying to make it fine. Trying to start anew, thinking of how much I love you. Until finally I was content, satisfied of being, a careless carefree coin. You’re my best friend you’ll always be and things are good now, we are pulling through, I am happy it is true, but who knew when it is cold now, snowy and new , that my soulmate would no longer be you.
