It’s lip balm wiped under the hem of T shirts Hair tie donned wrists And **** skirts It’s tangles of hair dropped from the windows of cars Half finished books And tonnes of jars It’s laughing so hard you slap pillows and cry Pacts made in toilets - Friendship or die It’s sharing clothes and shoes and handbags and lipsticks Love and pain and anguish and secrets Its running together in heels towards life Feet always aching Hands holding tight

Like a girl
It’s lip balm wiped under the hem of T shirts Hair tie donned wrists And **** skirts It’s tangles of hair dropped from the windows of cars Half finished books And tonnes of jars It’s laughing so hard you slap pillows and cry Pacts made in toilets - Friendship or die It’s sharing clothes and shoes and handbags and lipsticks Love and pain and anguish and secrets Its running together in heels towards life Feet always aching Hands holding tight
For the gals :)
