We are best friends

As the conclusion of the African-American festival Kwanzaa ( https://www.africa.upenn.edu/K-12/Kwanzaa_What_16661.html ) approaches its conclusion, we are going to revisit the Eintou, which reflects the culture in form and tone. The structure consists of seven lines with syllable or word counts of 2, 4, 6, 8, 6, 4, and 2, which resembles the shape of a pearl when centered

You are my Best Friend
By Lisa Noe

We are
Without doubt friends,
Many may say best friends
You are also my truest love
We’re best friends and lovers
Our love is deep
True Love
