Recalling our friendship of many years
Much more than ten
It's more like twenty
Remembering our innocence
Believing our wise elders
Would speak truth
Betrayal of false illusions
Marked changes happened often
Couldn't let things develop perchance
Much is hidden behind
Painted smiles
Greed begets greed
In fashionable style
Once we became competition
Watching our star succeed
Malice hit us for miles
Sadly it pulled us apart
Days turned to months
It lasted two years
I crawled back for forgiveness
For you've a special segment
Of my heart
We formed a sistership
On that fateful cruise ship
Matters not in times of lost hope
Evolution began
Cathartically cleansing
Eons of karma
The Blush of youth
Replaced with many mistakes
Chalking it up to experience
Ultimately our Dharma
Where our paths may seem
At a distance
It's closer than we both thought
The past is behind us
It's the pleasure
Of your company
Wiser still full of laughter
Comraderie of you
That I've sought
