For Tammy

A Familiar Smile

A Familiar Smile

Tammy, in the quiet hours we've shared

our conversations have woven a gentle fabric

of trust and laughter, a comforting presence

that I've grown to cherish in our neighborhood

 

Your friendship has been a welcome surprise

a reminder that connection can bloom in unexpected places

in the everyday moments we often overlook

our lives have become richer, more vibrant

 

As I look back on these past few months

I'm grateful for the ease with which we've found common ground

the way our differences have become a source of fascination

and our similarities, a deepening affection
