IT STARTED WITH A FRIEND REQUEST - SYLVIA EATON

It started with a friend request,

A click, a spark, a little jest.

A simple name, a photo bright,

Two lives about to take flight.

We chatted late into the night,

Sharing dreams, hearts feeling light.

With every text, our laughter grew,

In this strange world, I found you.

From memes to secrets, thoughts laid bare,

In virtual space, we learned to care.

Through ups and downs, we stood our ground,

In this new bond, true friendship found.

As days turned into months so sweet,

Plans were made for our first meet.

In the real world, our laughter rang,

A friendship blossomed, hearts sang.

So here we are, from clicks to ties,

What started small became a prize.

A friend request that changed our fate,

In this journey, it’s never too late.
