My best friend...

Today I lost my best friend.  She was slowly fading for the last few years...I just didn't see it. Maybe I did but didn't want to see it.  She and I have known each other since I knew myself. But, I'm not sad, well maybe a little.  The times we had, things we went through to make me what I am...wow...now that she's gone, I see things clearer. I am more aware of things, people too...I guess I can say in order for me to be the woman I am today, she had to go away...bet you're wondering what am I saying....simple. Today I lost my best friend....and she is my youth....I am a woman. Mind, body and soul. Just thought I'd share that.
