Friends

And you wonder what the point of making friends is – you’ll always have to leave people, always have to miss people. There will always be the tears, the fights, and the goodbyes.

But then you remember the midnight ice cream trips, the group TV gatherings, the pick-up football games in the mud, the drunken walks, the piggyback rides, the silly pictures, and the talks.

It doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye or to let go, but it makes you smile through your tears.
