the best kind of friends are the ones where vague ideas of hanging out turn into catching up on all the really important stuff. complex feelings are distilled and clarified, reflected off the face of someone who truly cares. then "let's go for a glass of wine" when it's already too late and you just have to because it's such a perfect idea. a glass turns into a bottle and suddenly you're swerving your way home up the sidewalk and just open and so yourself and feeling better than in so long. not just laughing but underneath really calm and okay. and they help you carry your things from your car, and they trace the bullet holes with you. and they say "keep me posted" because they know all of your secrets. and they are on your side.
