(an excerpt from kara’s version of our story)
…I can’t say that at the time I was aware that my heart had found its forever in the beach house. It would take another decade and a second trip to North Carolina to figure that out. And once we figured it out, we would both lament the fact that we had missed out on so many years together. Looking back, I think we needed those years – the experiences and relationships they held – to become the women who would be able to fall in love so freely and completely in spite of how completely upside down that love would turn our worlds.

what is this?
friends for a decade
and in an instant
everything changed
you opened the door
and i can’t even
begin to explain
the shifting deep inside
my heart skipped a beat
and for a moment
i forgot how to breathe
but then…
(deep breath and
i’ll figure this all out later)
xoxo, k
