I Liked Her Better Now

First off let me congratulate you She was shocked, not expecting this Very kind of you she said, smirking We did not get along well Life is easier after a death Joy comes in spurts in between sobs She did not know I had changed Purification of my soul had begun We were make believe friends for a bit Walking together in the evenings Like you better now she told me Great! I replied. I like you the best of all How did we become besties? Need I look any further? Rhonda had taken care of grams First there, holding her as she died. Grandma had always said she was terrific. Kindness came through more clearly now. Lifelong friendship developed out of grief. She and I have been close for over thirty-two years.
