what is a friend?
(this is not a philosophical or even an inspirational shit. i don't make such things.)
a friend is someone who you can be with, laugh with and cry with. he'll let you cry on his shoulder even if it gets his favorite shirt wet. he'll try and make you laugh when you're down, even if it makes him look foolish. he'll let you slap him up because he doesn't mind the sting of it. he'll let you punch him on the arm when you're annoyed because it's okay and you're basically weaker. he'll listen to your nonsense rants and raves because it helps to just talk while someone listens. he'll sit with you in silence if you don't feel like talking. he'll let you curse at him because he knows it's not meant for him.
but when said friend slips in the same bed (during a sleepover), pulls you tight against him, tangles your legs together and holds your hand, you think a line has been crossed.
"what are you doing?" you ask.
"sleeping." he simply answers.
you wonder then if you're missing something and if things will ever be the same again.
