Best friend pacts. Grade school fights. High school crushes. Trike rides home. You wear stripes. I wear black. Student Body Elections. Sleepovers. Cram reviews. You taught me how to dance. I taught you how to bike. Beauty pageants.  Pimple removers. Whitening lotion. Ponds and Pink Soda. Prom. I wrote. You declaimed. High school war. Silence. feud. Off to College. You came to me. I went to you. I’m sorry. College boys. Coffee. Exams. Church stuffs. Papa’s death. Grief. Boyfriends. Break-ups. Make-ups. Grown-up world. Hospitals. Publications. Canada. Abu Dhabi. Wedding bells.

3 nights from now is her wedding day

Here I am so  far away

You know I’d fly home if I only can

But all I can do across the mile

Is wish so hard I’d live again

To see my best friend walk down the aisle.
