The Swing

It was she, Who occupied the swing next to mine. The void in my life. Lost piece of a puzzle. It was she, Who declared us companions, The minute we met She knew. My swing gathered speed, Took flight. Hers glided up to Realms I’d only been alone. We rocketed higher, higher Our swings swooped in descent, In unison, As one. The light behind my smile The bounce in my step, The warmth in my eyes, The courage of my soul Never again did I swing alone She was always by my side With her warm brown eyes and sunny smile She showed me that she cared. It was she, My first best friend, Who swung with me to forever. Our feet never touched the ground.
