Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

. 

It’s another day,

And time for another heart to heart,

You and I together,

Let’s revisit memories from the past.

. 

My first crush,

I whispered into your ears,

Oh! How I blushed,

While you silently cheered.

. 

You held my hand,

While you witnessed my first heartbreak,

You didn’t admonish,

Only soothed my nerves, for my sake.

. 

I sneaked out at times,

My crazy parties in the teen years,

You sat quiet,

A silent friend, allaying my myriad fears.

. 

Career and life,

Each day, brought a new challenge,

I turned to you,

And you penned, ‘Hold on. Don’t lose courage.’

. 

Even now, each night,

I look forward to this me-time,

When you and I,

Snuggle together at bed time.

. 

It’s our love story,

The world may not understand,

My confidante you are,

Forever residing in my heartland.
