My Bestie, My Forever

Since class eight, we’ve walked side by side, Through every laugh, every tear we've cried. We sat on the same , she’s my soul’s twin, With her beside me, I always win. She cares like a sister, loving and kind, Scolds like a mother to keep me aligned. A shield from red flags, bold and strong, With her, I feel like I truly belong. My partner in crime, through thick and thin, In mischief or madness, we always grin. Though we don’t meet every day like before, Our bond has only grown more and more. From tuition time to her cozy home, Where I never once felt alone. Her mom, with love so pure and wide, Cooks for me like I’m her own pride. Lopita, your name brings a smile to me, You’re my past, my present, my destiny. A friendship like ours is rare and true— And I thank the stars that I found you.                                                           -  Asima
