*to my best friend*

[bootiefulday]

dysfunctional we are

you are oh so clever,
no one gives you the respect or attention you deserve.
you have built many a great bridges
to connect us together,
and then to each one taken a match to it and watched it burn.
you have built many a great walls
to keep us apart,
and then to each one taken a hammer and watched it crumble.
you have built many a great armies
to drive me away
and none has yet to defeat my love for you.
but no matter how long the distance,
high the barrier,
or strong the army,
our friendship has prevailed them all.
and for this,
for this am I forever grateful.
