“Friends”
in sandboxes we became friends
despite our opposite skin tones
spent hours talking on the phone
dreaming about future boyfriends
inseparable on the weekends
college brought us to new roadways
our talks dwindled down to birthdays
the gulf between us only grew
and now I don't recognize you
but still cherish our youthful days
