We've Come So Far

-Alexis L. Thompson wrote this for me on my 16th birthday-

About ten years

Since I first met you.

Instant friends because

Tweety was on your backpack too.

 

Years went by,

and here we are.

Fifteen and sixteen

We've come so far.

 

We've been through times,

good and bad.

But these are the

best years we've ever had.

 

Both gone down

to depths of sadness.

It didn't matter

we gave eachother gladness.

 

Now we both

have men in our lives;

Men who plan

to make us their wives.

 

Still bestfriends,

NO! Better than ever.

To not be your friend

is an option- never.

 

I love you to death.

Like a sister you feel.

Our friendship is

more than 100% real.
