Friendship is True Love

I used to be convinced
that I had never experienced true love
i’d never made it that far across the bridge 
spent 6574 days as just one body

But then I remember 
the laughter, the splendid summer days, coffee fueled study dates 
hugs warmer than the sun 
that beat down on us even during the cruelest of winter’s outbursts 

Tears that turned into smiles
fears that transformed us 
made us who we are today 

The clock never stops running 
but our lives remain forever intertwined 
on the outside it may seem that you are simply my friends 

but if i’m honest 

I owe the largest part of my heart to you.
