Pick you up,
Awkward car ride.
Arrive.

Step outside.
Zip coats.
It's cold.

Walk side by side.
Stand in line.
Laugh without fear.

Get herded inside.
Find friend.
I sit in the middle.

Surrounded by love.
And friendship.
And trust.

Cheer and applaud.
Talk in between.
Playful argument.

Lay my head on your shoulder.
Look around.
How blessed I am.

So lucky to have you.
What with all the teasing.
We defy the odds.

Casual.
Nothing strained.
Real, trusting friendship.

Switch shoulders.
Two amazing friends.
Wow.

Look across at you.
Wink.
Smile.

Just a bitter winter night.
Friends together.
All with ease.

Simple.
Smiles.
Laughter.

It's over.
Mom picks you up.
I drive home.

Receive a text.
Continue the conversation.
Don't want the night to end.

Sit in bed.
Smile.
Joke.

Go to sleep.
Assured.
Peaceful.

Simple happiness.

Thank you.
