Mbali is such a beautiful name

full of charm and worth.

Though you maybe thousands of miles apart

you lay close to my heart

clichè

I know.

like when I say you're absolutely magnificent

unlike that coffee shop hoe.

I love you

my best friend

the one who talked me through my break ups

and broken heart,

the one who comforted me

when my world seemed to fall apart.

We share inside jokes

and dirty quotes

about sex and drugs

and cigarette buds.

We talk endlessly about hot guys

that smoke

with platinum blonde hair

or vibrant blue eyes.

We are honest and true

and you know things about me

that no know else do.

I love you

I love you

Mbali

the name

that took me months to remember

but you were memorable all the same.

That cool black girl that cried when she laughed.

I miss you

I miss you

Mbali

Mbali

full of worth and charm

love and beauty.

You make me smile

in a special way because that's what you are

special

So I hope all the way in Germany

you still cry when you laugh too hard

and make weird faces to your friends

but just remember, Mbali,

I will love you to no end.

This poem was dedicated to my best friend awknutellers my wonderful best friend that moved away but never really left me. I love you baby stay beautiful.
