Breath of Life


Dedicated to my not-so-niece, Ehrill. This poem's for you! 


I’m a girl who belongs to a cool boy squad.
I’m an extrovert surrounded with a circle of best friends.
I’m a young woman who easily makes a friend.
Acquaintances, companions, close friends -
Temporary, long term, or short term
I have many of those, and I am blessed.
But no happiness would ever accelerate
Being assured of having a lifetime friend.

Classmate for seven years, playmate since birth
From fun and games ‘til we had our menarche
Now talking about guys and future decisions
And look, we have the same nail polish color!

Of sleepless sleepovers, and texting ‘til morning
To the balcony memories where we write down our future.
Of crush confessions and open forums
To the dying seal laughs where we pause from rationality.

Undeniably gazillions of memories -
Tried and tested, through thick and thin.
Thank you for staying here with me.

Ehrill, destiny took us here.
We’re more than a niece and an aunt.
We’re for lifetime.
We’re for each other.
