To My Best Friend Poem by beautiful imperfection

You came into my life
and we became fast friends,
even though at first
we judged each other by our trends.
These judgements almost kept us apart,
but i'm so glad we broke through,
For I don't know what I'd do
if I had never met you.
When I met you,
I was truly afraid
to be myself
without hiding away,
but you helped me
break through the lies
and now I'm myself,
even though the mask tries
to creep back on
and take over my life,
but I will not let it
cause so much pain and strife.
I love you like a sister,
yet at the same time,
I'm glad we're not,
for in my mind,
I know God saved us
for when we truly needed each other,
and had the perfect timing
for bringing us together.
Now I know that things done in God's timing
have beautiful results,
and if we were sisters,
there would have been many more insults.
God knew what He was doing,
and was just on time,
and now our friendship will always be
a favorite memory of mine.
