It’s the silliest thing
and it’s always
the silliest place
to think of her,
but it’s also the perfect
pause
to remind me
of the wild girl
in the crazy
amazing woman
she is now.
We were kindred,
then distanced
through time
and circumstance.
It’s hard to remember now
the things we agreed on then,
but I’m certain
there were many,
and there must be some still.
Though life
and time
have separated us
in addition to the miles,
I refuse to believe
we are that far apart,
because there is so much more
that binds us.
After all,
we are kindred.
