Best friend

Do you have a best friend for life? Did you make a blood oath or get married? Why do you like them so much?

Richard E. Grant wrote a letter to his wife before she was diagnosed with cancer in a pocketful of happiness (Gallery Books UK, 2022):

“Being in love with you is the complete re-discovery of the time and feeling of being 5 years old, playing hide and seek, and being able to fit snug inside a drawer or the floor in the back seat of a car, safe as a pillow in its case, warm and wrapped. Living with you is like playing House and Doctors and Nurse Fondle, Murder in the Dark and K.I.N.G spells KING, and when I look to see, it’s you who are always there.”

Idea: Write a list poem starting with “Being your friend is….” or “Friendship is…”
