We shared an exquisite connection
that is hard to portray or paint
It did not have a defined pattern
could not be copied, or questioned
instead mesmerized with a sincere gaze
We had a package deal
that juxtaposed an uplifting joy
with angst, and confusion
offered surety and strength
through uncertainty and storms
We watched each other closely
and as our extensions intertwined
we absorbed the wear and tear
while relishing sunshine and blossoms
Cultivating deep roots of our friendship
We created a new syntax, traced a new DNA
and let our bond be a teacher
It’s simplicity always elevating
refreshing in a predictable way
defining us as we grew into our lives
We laughed at and with each other
listening to tears before they trickled
never lacking a conversation
often choosing silence
letting our spaces absorb our fears
To the meandering years of being us
and the many more we will make
A Remembrance –
Here lives our friendship
scribbles + poetry
toast + condensed milk
embroidery + imagination
rituals + weddings
journeys + cities
homes + decisions
tea + warmth
fears + opinions
cakes + crumbs
togetherness + tragedy
So long,
Kashiana
