Original Submission by Tinashe Kamambo
She’s a friend
Even though...
She's a friend.
She's a friend,
even though when her smooth graces my rough palms meet and all that may be wanted is to hold on for as long as humanly possible...
She's a friend.
Even though,
My eyes betray the portrayal of my body, reducing my embodiment to the figure that capsizes my mind, her...
She's a friend.
She's a friend...
Even though the very thought of thinking about her is fought to the moon and back, to the very brink of existence...
She's a friend.
Even though the self-rising of her cheeks and the expansion of her beam would surely light up a room, let alone, perhaps imaginatively, render the sun jealous,
She's a friend.
Even though... she's a friend.
