How do I know???
I hadn’t met
her before
What do I
hear???
A shrill and
deafening din
Precious few once a year
Fun on a cornucopia
Hide and Seek to name one
Chatter just
a load of 'baloney'
Jaywalking under
the blazing sun
Shopping
garments and trinkets
Exhibitions
and Ferris wheels
Restaurants
new and old
From sweet
nothings
To adolescent
chinwag
From falling
in love
To healing heartbreaks
A 'roomie' for
long
The secrets
tumble unsure
Jealousy from
one in particular
Life's still at
its best
A chance on
me
When am down
and out
Lots of song
and dance
And some
mortifying moments
A marriage on
the cards
I will never
be ready
Then the
going away
A wheel comes
undone
Husbands and
Boyfriends
Embracing responsibilities
Life juggles
on the express highway
A family expanding
on the go
Excursions on
the threshold
A new
foursome
Forging new
bonds
Back of a
journey abroad
Long distance tête-à-tête
Not giggly
anymore
Adult to
adult
A little
baby talk now and then
Welcome road
trips
Trials and
tribulations
Amidst the
highs and lows
The journey still
an upward curve
My first trip
to her new world
And many more
that follow
Fond memories
always
With progeny in
tow
New secrets
unfold
Not on guard anymore
Judgements
not lurking
Sarcasm for good measure
Fun and
frolic age defying
New age
recipes keeping us fresh
Opinions and
advice unabashed
Growing old is
just a state of mind
She is my
best friend
At the end of
my extended hand
Can’t ask for
more
Perfect as it
is now
Friends can be chosen
Family comes
on a well laid platter
Blessed is an understatement
I have both
rolled into one

Love you and miss you !!!
