New Friendship

In the beginning you find
you don’t mind
sharing space.

Pretty soon
you will also share smiles.

For every old memory you swapped
you make new ones together.

Through sickness and stumbles,
through tears and through pain,
you add one more token
to the trust that you’ve gained.

And one day you’ll look back
on your time,
how you shared it,
and you’ll realize what grew,

though you never declared it.
Your separate souls had intertwined
into one friendship.
