A Trusted Friend From Birth

A Trusted Friend From Birth

I KNOW THIS PERSON FROM MANY LIVES AGO. MY MOM CALLS HER A SNOWFLAKE SOMETIMES.

SHE LOVED ME EVEN WHEN OTHER KIDS HATED ME. SHE DRESSES UP IN FUNNY CLOTHES TO MAKE ME LAUGH DURING DULL, DARK DAYS.

SHE KNOWS THAT I AM A GOOD LISTENER BECAUSE SHE TELLS ME HER DEEPEST SECRETS. SHE FIGHTS, NOT OVER A CHOCOLATE; SHE FIGHTS FOR MY RIGHTS.

SHE HANGS OUT WITH ME WITH NO DEMANDS. SHE BAKES STUFF I DON’T EAT AND ASKS ME TO TRY, BUT I MUST SAY THE HOUSE SMELLS GREAT.

SHE THINKS A LOT LIKE ME. SHE IS ME. SHE IS LAIBA, MY FRIEND BY BLOOD.
