After All these Years

I have heard it said that once you've had seven years of friendship, you are destined to stay life long friends. I couldn't possibly be more blessed to be friends with her. 

After all these years we aren't married, but sometimes we act like it. 

After all these years we aren't dating, though sometimes I want to. 

After all these years we are starting our dream business together. 

After all these years she is more beautiful than ever. 

After all these years she still tolerates me.

After all these years she still impresses me with her kindness, true love, and strong will. 

After all, what are friends for but to build each other up? She certainly does that for me. I reach higher peaks, cross larger rivers, and trek bigger valleys because she inspires me. 

She has always been and looks like she will always be wonderful. 

After all these years it appears to be against her very nature to be anything but.
