Who wants to come over?
We can paint our nails with pastel colors
and experiment with our hair.
We can plan trips to places we’ll never go
and then bake brownies.
We can tell stories we’ve both already memorized by heart
and act like they’re new ones.
We can laugh at nothing
and comment on how soft my old blanket is.
We can go through my closet
and create **** outfits
and wear them out because we’re both a little too self conscious to wear them to school.
We can get pretty for each other
and go through a random box of stuff in my parents closet.
We can plan an elegant dinner just for us
and dress up like fairies.
We can make jewelry with the little plastic beads I still have from when I was a kid.
We can be cliche and stupid.
We can be happy.
Maybe another day.
