To Giggles, From Chief

I thought what better way to finally return even after 2+ years later than to post this very special poem written by my very special, beautiful BFF:

At the beginning, it wasn't smooth sailing,
What with a bit of name calling and playing
Games of horror-one that had you leading
...me to a psycho, crying and pleading.
But we managed to overcome our dislike.
Get past our differences and end the strike
Upon a connection that would soon reveal
Itself too strong to ever stop or congeal.
Fights and arguments? Had plenty of those.
Making us stronger, we suppose,
And better able to get that our world
Simply works best when our souls can unfurl
And reek good havoc upon it together
Hip to hip, an invisible tether.
So strong and true, it can never be severed,
23 years and it's only been levered
To new heights, new depths of emotion
That have kept us this close with devotion.
Love, laughter and much respect-
Things we've known we can expect
From each other, along with T.L.C
And a bit of T.C.C.I.C.
So take that 23 and switch it up
To 32 years and an overflowing cup
Of a life that's been so full and true,
I love you, my friend, and
Happy Birthday to you.
