In you stormed like a sailor at sea
Head held up high.
Taking your directions from the stars above
And not trusting your compass spinning round
Tired of your boat’s languid drift
You jump overboard
And bodyslam the waves.
The crashes sting, but you always swim to the surface.
The moon pulls in the tides to end the day
Knowing full well you’ll be back out there tomorrow
Breaking new waves
That have been broken by those before you
I watch from the sandy shore
Excuses burning the tip of my tongue
The salty sea stings my open wounds
And today is not a day for crying.
(No, today is not a day for crying.)
You swim to shore only to sleep and recollect your energy for tomorrow’s battle
You have no need to speak
Yet I listen intently to every gaze
And I can’t help thinking
Maybe we met in a previous life
When we were felines
Basking in our beauty all day
And all night.
The darkness settles
And the world sleeps in harmony
This moment is one to learn by heart
I try to join the world
But my mind cannot escape you
Together you and I,
We make more than whole.
My lifelong friend, forever
Soulmate past the end.

Thank you, kahkit.
This is about a dear friend of mine. We met at the least likely of times, in the least likely of places, yet once we started talking, it became instantly apparent that we were forming a special bond--a friendship that would last a very long time.
