Me and Tree
We shared our favourite colour
We shared a compassion for animals
We shared debates over social issues
We shared the joy of dancing together
We shared uncontrollable fits of laughter
We shared a love of new places and people
We shared a desire to raise our children together
We shared in celebrating the big events in our lives
We shared an outrage against injustices in the world
We shared our most intimate thoughts with each other
We shared the experience of starting a business together
We shared stories from our past and dreams of our future
We shared an admiration of each other’s accomplishments
We shared a need to comfort each other when times were tough
We shared thoughts and ideas about how to make this world a better place
We shared a friendship that I will treasure forever
