Enduring friendship with Mapplethorpe from "summary" of Just Kids by Patti Smith
Our friendship was like a garden, nurtured with care and attention, blossoming with each passing day. Robert had a way of seeing the world that was both unique and captivating. His creativity knew no bounds, and he had a keen eye for beauty in even the most mundane of things. We would spend hours exploring the streets of New York City, camera in hand, capturing moments that would later become iconic images in the art world. Despite our differences, Robert and I were kindred spirits, bound by a shared love for art and poetry. We would spend countless hours in each other's company, discussing our dreams and ambitions, supporting each other through the highs and lows of life. Our friendship was a constant source of inspiration for both of us, pushing us to strive for greatness in our respective fields. As we navigated the tumultuous waters of youth and creativity, our bond only grew stronger. We were each other's rock, a source of comfort and solace in a world that often seemed harsh and unforgiving. Robert's unwavering belief in my talent gave me the courage to pursue my dreams, while my steadfast support helped him weather the storms of doubt and uncertainty. Through it all, our friendship remained steadfast and true, a beacon of light in a world that often seemed dark and chaotic. Robert's untimely death was a devastating blow, robbing me of not just a friend, but a kindred spirit and creative partner. But his spirit lives on in the memories we shared and the art we created together, a testament to the enduring power of friendship and love. In the end, our friendship was a gift that I will always cherish, a bond that transcended time and space. Robert may be gone, but his presence lingers on, a constant reminder of the beauty and fragility of life. Our enduring friendship with Mapplethorpe was a rare and precious thing, a treasure that I will hold close to my heart for the rest of my days.
