The Gift That Is Friendship

Some people have never experienced friendship, I called it “sisterhood”. You’ve not really lived until you experience soulful friendship.


I can remember my early days when I had friends. I never thought it was that hard to have friends because friendship comes to me like oxygen even when I didn’t know I needed it.


I remember when we used to play together, gossip together, eat together, love and hate together. These friendships just happened, it was never planned, it….. just happened.


I want something like this again “the innocence”.


As I grow older, have been more cautious of people around me, the world has toughened me, I no longer trust anyone while I still craved for some of the sisterhood I had while growing up.


We didn’t fight, we just fell apart.


I remember when I wouldn’t speak to someone just because you didn’t.


How you will asked me “do we like her” to a new girl, if I say no, you will never talk to her until I say yes.


How you will cry every time my father beats me.


How we’ll fight and defend each other.


Oh how I want to encounter this again so badly.


I remember how we eloped together to a teen’s retreat that we had no idea what it was all about. How the electricity went off in an unknown place.


Remember how we freaked out and we couldn’t calm each other until a strange boy sat between us, in that instant, we found our courage and beat him up…..it was satisfying.


We didn’t need romantic relationship cause we had each other. WE WERE ONE.
