An Ode to Friendship
Not many people do the days with you
You know, each and every day
The day you wake up and your heart’s so heavy you need help carrying it out the door
The day you thought would be fine or even great and it wasn’t, it was almost unliveable
The day your world falls apart in front of your very eyes and you don’t even know how to say it let alone do anything to stop it
The day it starts fitting back together again
The day something happens
The day nothing happens
The day you feel everything all at once
The day you feel nothing at all
There’s not so many people there, on all of those days, or even most, or even a few
And the only way to know is to know
And the only way to see is to wait, and see
It’s easier to be there, almost, for the months, for the years
Skipping the tough stuff
Hearing the resolution story
Getting the short of it, because the long of it is done
And it’s not everyone’s burden to bear
The days
But there are some who will
And there are some for whom you will
And there is the beauty
And the blessing
And the best of everything
Don’t you forsake it
Not even for a minute of those many many days
Don’t you forsake it
