Girlfriends
True girlfriends
Are the best
They come
To share
To help
To lift up
Girlfriends
True ones
Fill us with
Inspiration
Aspiration
And faith
They laugh with us
Deep guttural laughs
That make our whole beings shake
And vibrate
At the same frequency
The frequency of pure abandon
Enabling us to let go
Surrender
In the comfort of the grasp of our girlfriends
True girlfriends
Giving each other permission
To not worry about
What we look like
Or what we say
Dropping the guards
We put up
Stripping off the armour
We put on
Because there is no need
To hide behind the shield
No need to be other than who we are
Springing forth conversations
Without judgement
Without fear
Deep and open conversations
Exposing our
vulnerabilities
Revealing them
Peeling them back
Allowing us to nurture them
Rather than using our vulnerabilities as weapons
Against us
Girlfriends
True girlfriends
Stand by us through thick and thin
Never using any of our vices
As their victories
To tread on us
To make them feel more superior
Girlfriends
True girlfriends
Honour our feelings
Help to balance us
As we do them
Girlfriends
True girlfriends
Understand
There is a time and place
For everything and everyone
That sometimes we will be
On the same page
And other times we will not
That sometimes we will be
Physically present in each other’s lives
And other times we will not
Girlfriends
True girlfriends
Know when the time is right
There will be no distance between us
That the mental connection always remains
Such that when we are meant to be together
Time stands still
Reconnecting us
As if we had been together all along
Because we have
Being in the presence of girlfriends
True girlfriends
Is one of the most liberating
And awakening experiences
Because being in their presence
Opens our eyes to who we are
As it opens their eyes to who they are
Reflections of each other
Shadows of each other
Mirrors to each other
Girlfriends
True girlfriends
Are like the most precious jewels
Never to be taken for granted
Always to be treasured
Grateful for
And loved
Girlfriends
True girlfriends
What a breath of fresh air
Love my girlfriends
My true girlfriends
So grateful for having you in my life
This blog is dedicated to you
My girlfriends
True girlfriends
You know who you are
Scattered near and far
Physically
But always
Always
Present in my heart
With gratitude and love
Honour and respect
Namaste
Thank you for this. It truly describes the relationship I have with my one handful of true girlfriends. Thank you, thank you, thank you for not using the world "Real"!
