Shared Friends

Man, I love ya’ll, being there for us right up to the end.
You know who you are, my people, my beloved shared friends. 
Our personalities couldn’t be a more perfect blend.
Around ya’ll I could be myself, with no need to pretend.

Our highs and our lows were on full display.
1080p, hdmi, 3D and 4k.
"Adventure time" in Vegas, Reno, Tahoe and back in the bay.
3 decades together adapting to change and adopting each other's ways.
Closer than most sisters and brothers.
Supported each other after losing family members.
Disagreements came and went but we always remember.
That we got each other's backs from January to December.
You still chose us, even though you seen us at our worst. 
Even when we tried so many times to help her see her worth.
We'd follow each other blindly to the ends of the earth.
Even assisted each other after each of our child's births.
There were so many times we'd laugh so hard we'd be crying.
We'd make each other crack up without even trying.
We knew each other so well, we could tell when we were lying.
We even knew the subtle signs of when our blood pressure was rising.
I can't call that relationship over, to me that shit's complete.
And now that I'm single, I'm full throttle finding me.
You guys knew how much I loved her, please keep an eye on her for me.
Just don't lose yourselves trying and fighting to get her to see.
I'll be a shoulder to cry on,
I'll be a pillar to lean on,
I'll be stronger than Teflon,
For you, on this new journey that I'm on,
Your kids are my kids, your mom's are my mom's.
I'll be there for you and always keep a light on.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives,
And believing that there was always a better me inside.
I can't imagine where I'd be without either of you guys.
I promise to consider you both everyday of my life.
New beginnings can be hidden behind something that ends,
Our journey will continue on, it just took a slight bend. 
You guys cared for me enough to help my broken heart mend.
I'm forever grateful and thank the universe for you two, our shared friends.
