we stayed up
talking.
about everything and nothing,
all at once.
he was so tired,
it made me laugh so much.
his half-conscious ramblings.
he'd trail off into mumbling.
i was fully awake.
he was not.
and his connection was so bad,
i lost half the things he said.
eventually,
he fell asleep on me.
but our friendship doesn't sleep.
nor do i.
