i thought of u

I thought of you

while trimming my nose hairs today.

You always have my back

in the smallest of ways.

You’ve mastered the art

of glowing up your girl

And helping me recognize

the beauty I hold within myself.

You also ground me.

“Hey girl - I can see your nose hairs.

you might wanna take care of that.”

I don’t want my best friend to reflect

only the good back to me;

Call me out on my shit

Tell me where I need to pick up the slack

I don’t let it get to me

And I don’t take it personally.

We have each others best interests at heart

We look out for one another.

When you’ve lived life mostly underwater

You need a hand to lift you up from the depths.

Pointing out my nose hairs, is fundamentally

an act of love.
