Friendship is
A cold nose thing
Middle of the winter
Huddling in coats
Under trees
Dripped on by rain
That kind of thing
Wet socks from
Running
In Pacific weather
Thing
Laughing at each other
Because we can barely
Put our hair up
Thing
Sharing deodorant and
Pictures we drew
In the back of
Language Arts
Kind of thing
It's a petty kind
Of thing
Leaving t-shirts at
Their house
Kind of thing
Never giving that
Necklace back
Kind of thing
Everything they have
Is now yours too
It's almost like
Marriage but
A little less insane
And when they lose
You do too
And we always lose
In life or in death
Or in pain
Or in distance
Or in hatred
Or in love
There's loss
And I've lost
Them all
