Girlfriends (New Category: Friendship)

We were all wearing well-worn gray uniforms. Stated by the strictly ruled high school's principal, "A female student's skirt can not be shorter than her knees" *** Cameline we were always together I wasn't always very honest with you Only because I wanted your attention I've never gotten closer to anyone like I was to you We could make each other laugh till we cry and laugh at the same time Tia I've known you longer than I could remember I am always amazed by your strength of your standing strong against the harsh wind that seemed to blow often, in the air that you are breathing This strong bond between us will always keep us near Novi you are funny as hell, bold and intuitive You could be a roaring lion when you're upset but a lion's sensitive heart is the sweetest and most loyal I've ever known Thank you for all the letters you sent me since I moved here (Are you still a Leonardo-Dicaprio crazy fan?) San we had a lot fun sitting next to each other in that classroom where we first met Your motherly affection always did (and still does) mean a lot to me I was always buying you gifts (as if everyday was a friendship day) I had realized I could only buy a true friendship with respect and honest and good intentions Finny you were a new friend The boy I had a crush on admired and liked you so much I checked you out and ended up liking you, too I felt I could be totally open to you I wish you would write more often nowadays *** Somebody forgave us for being loud and hysterical Someone understood why there's so much politics in girlie friendships There is nothing like high school (girl)friends Sisterly smiles and sisterly love among us are what I treasure the mostDedicated to: all the names mentioned in the poem (and others that are not mentioned) Written April 19th, 2002 © on Apr 19 2002 03:14 PM PST   0 • 10
