Dear Friend,

Dear Friend,

I see you in me

In the mirror is no ordinary image

There appears us, somehow fused into one

I touch my cheeks and touch yours, that soft yet toned and elegant face

I see my eyes and your beautiful brown eyes filled with candid hopes and desires that seem a world away

I hear my voice and your voice spewing elegant and powerful prose about the things we care

about

Same as mine

We, my friend, are one

We are

Intelligent creatures

Thoughtful and considerate towards others

Believers of education

Intrepid adventurers

Delightfully hilarious

Endless, passionate dreamers

Hopeless romantics

Risk takers

Desperately seeking yearning approvals from our parents

Yet despite good intentions, this world rejects us

Why are they blind?

to positivity

honesty

and good vibes?

Why can’t they see that all we want to be is

together
