fits--
like a favorite sweater
reached for when
winter's cold fingers chill
my bones.
Comforting, warm soothing,
your love envelopes me
when I despair.
This friendship
blossoms--
a delicate yet enduring rose
undaunted by withering sun
or bitter frost,
raising her dewy face
to joyously greet the dawn.
Each petal whispers a deeper
shade of velvety love.
This friendship
shines--
glitters and sparkles--
illuminating my world
with laughter and life,
like a million stars blazing
across the heavens on a cool
autumn night,
blinking hope and love,
guiding me through the darkness
to a haven of security,
sureness, acceptance, and
joy.
This friendship...
