fern

by chance,

our stars and moons collided

—affable you, together with

our ( countless ) common traits, stumbled into

( my life )

jokes that slip through our lips,

playful banter that encase our encounters

bound by your so-called fate,

comfort i derive from you.

unknowingly

effete, you did

my unhappiness

engraved in my mind,

locked in my heart —your cheeky smile and “silly child”

you throw at me indirectly

( through your spoken words and texts )

precious.

you, the co-creator of our memories and

little moments, mostly drowned in our laughter

( hopefully more to come )

to infinity and beyond;

like Buzz Lightyear and Woody our friendship will go on
