Two birds of a feather that flock together The Garfunkel to my Simon When the world is a bee's nest, buzzing with anger We laugh and dust our shoulders in tandem Together, we are much like a carrot and pea I can count on her, and she can count on me You see, at times we are identical Separated at birth And at others, we are opposites A disparity so clear As to be seen from space to earth Regardless, we connect like two polars A North to a South A magnet to a fridge And the picture between them is us, frozen in that moment Making the kind of faces your mother warns you about "If you keep doing that it'll get stuck that way" Dependent on eachother like bones to cartiledge A bond so strong It eats nails for breakfast No milk included We've been through thick and we've been through thin: For boys have intruded There have been periods spent deluded Refusing to speak, pretending we don't care Over arguments petty I won't get specific but there have been many (In all honestly I don't remember them) They really don't matter- it's like losing a penny Sometimes we clash A suit of armor to a sword The sun to your eyes Vinegar to water But at the end of the road The both of us know That one will be there for the other In times of trouble, I can always call her There's emotional pain that we've both endured The loss of a lover Feeling hopelessly alone A dysfunctional family Being unsure of what to call home But there are few existing ailments that a laugh shared hasn't cured Yet even more inconceivable The passing of loved ones Or the death of her father As she tries to stay strong While I offer my shoulder Our friendship braces the storm A captain with his ship strong as an ox brave as bear mischievous as a fox With college around the corner Most would worry Of drifting apart Or slitting in two Abrupt like ripped paper But I know that regardless of what we do We will always be friends It's in the stars So I don't take those concerns to heart If anything I know I will shed a tear When the first Friday comes And I can't simply text "Hey, let's go to the mall" Or "Let's watch scary movies" "sleep over at your house?" Yes, in the upcoming transition, These memories of high school I will always hold dear Despite what newly gained distance will soon come our way We hold our heads high Ready to embrace the future As it barrels forward Prepared or not Refraining to feel the slightest of dismay Secure in the fact that we can call on another Like the mighty Thor to his Hammer of Truth For one, the other is here to stay Unlike coins in pockets We will never shake loose Seasons have changed Years have gone by Like cars on a highway We've known each other for a long time Almost ten years We plan to stay Like two birds of a feather Flocked together Never estranged No matter what life has thrown in our way What misfortune has blasted Or shot in our direction We've always got past it This is why our friendship has always lasted Why we cannot be led astray This will, without a doubt, continue As time goes on She's the big band orchestra to my Frank Sinatra song We even have the same name, so the Fates must agree I only made this poem ryhme, cause that's how she'd like it to be She is my best friend And that, folks, is The End.
