We were never supposed to meet
Or fall into place so easily, like we did
I was
A clouded mess of a question
You were
The accidental grounded stability
I stumbled upon Forever ago
That’s allowed me to figure out all the rest
The timing is what never made sense
You’re the reason the best things never do
My life wasn’t ready or prepared
Always throwing my cares
Up towards the clouds
Still ignoring the responsibilities
When they would come crashing down
You made me realize the beauty
Of the sky lying around me
Not the dark underlying colors
Of the overcast above me
I stopped for a second
Pressed pause
Whatever the hell you want to call it
Everything stopped and It set in
You made me realize life from a new perspective
Because of you
I have my best friend
I found you Accidentally, forever
Through everything, even the worst of storms
Or just the embarrassing ones, I like those too
Especially the one, drunk on the kitchen floor
Replacing my shoe, with a napkin holder
Along the way, I hope I weathered your storms too
Installing, embrace now not when we’re older
I don’t think anyone quite understands me
Like she does
Even the parts not understood
She approaches with clear skies and wide eyes
Not abrasive and questioning
Why I’m comfortable where I am
Why my heart is where it stands
Her heart is valued that of gold
This friendship is forever ours to hold
You’re the greatest story of mine ever told
About how the misplaced kid got his best friend
Not just some girl.
Telling it now,
It makes me feel like I have the entire world
