A best friend is like the air you breathe. You rely on them and they on you without condition. Without them you would struggle, but you would give your last breathe for them to live.

Panic has set in and I'm unable to breath. I dial a number that hasn't been used in months. Busy lives keep us apart. She answers and I know it will be okay. Loyalty's finest.

Comfortable with each other even in silence... Within the quiet there is a sense of deep still waters...a calm filled with loyalty and acceptance... In the din of stillness is tolerance and deep respect.

Adolescent boys shared blood

Back of the wrist to back of the wrist

A common razor sliced delicate thin lines into youth

Two scars, parallel brothers, sit side by side still connected after a lifetime

Feels peaceful, calm, energizing-like a reflection into a mirror of water with unmoving smooth pebbles at the bottom. Spiritual, devoted, protection, humor, adventurous, electric touch. Traits of a soulmate that only God can gift.

Laryngitis steals who I am. She lets me rock and cough and cry and buck and ooze and spit and when it's done she says the words I can't say: I love you.

Interesting, Fun, Unique, Different, Comforting, loyal, other half. ..... Feels like you've found another side of you that you never thought you'd like and grow to love in a different body.
