You taught me how to love fearlessly because I knew that to you my laughs were just pain that could never go away instantly
You taught me to live in the moment because we were only young once and we knew what dying alone meant.
You taught me always to trust myself that way I would never get left.
We drank, we sang , we lied, we laughed, we tried to figure out life in a year and a half.
I judged you for loving those men because I knew you more than just a number on the scale , more than just a rating, a ten.
I knew you were secrets & pain, tears burned into your skin like acid rain but those tattoos..
Those tattoos told the stories, we will tell our kids when we talk about those implusive decisions, men and our college glory.
But they told us privately that we were gonna live past eighteen, fuck those men who touched you as a teen and that we would love to see what our life together would mean.
You’re the peanut to my jelly, the ying to my yang, the power to my puff & the cheetah to my girls. Young me craved the friendship we have, the one that makes bff lockets & makes our laughs screech like rockets.
Little me wanted you but big me needed you, it just took 20 years for us to meet & stick like glue.
You’re my sisters , can y’all feel it too.
