Seventeen and twelve, growing up in the same space but at different speeds.
One a little closer to the edge of the world,
the other still holding tight to pieces of childhood.
We share laughs, arguments, late nights, and quiet moments
that don’t seem important until they are.
Every day we change in small ways, new thoughts, new dreams, new questions,
learning who we are while watching each other become someone new too.
Even when we don’t understand each other,
there’s comfort in knowing we don’t have to.
We’re learning how to grow without growing apart,
holding onto the bond that started long before
either of us knew what growing up meant.
