Dancing Partners

Last night at nearly a quarter to 10 at night, I received a call from one of my dearest friends.  "I am here.  I am in town.  Want me to come pick you up?"  Well, no and yes.  No, because I must be at work by 7am the next morning and well, dang it!  Of course, I want you to come pick me up! And so we made guacamole, ate it and devoured jelly fruity candy until the wee hours in the morning.  Oh, and had a Smirnoff or two.  We laughed, we cried, we yelled our anger at the injustices of our lives, but most of all we savored the feeling of who we all are because of each other, in spite of each other and together we are something so beautiful it nearly takes my breath away!  I love my friends.

Friends by Julie Meyer-Weber

You and I
We are friends.
And so we are
Forever changed because of each other
Forever connected with each other
We are friends.

I am not who I was since knowing you.
You are not who you were since knowing me.
We are not the same
We can never go back
Forever changed
Forever connected
We are friends.

I like who I am in your eyes.
I certainly like who you are in mine
I bask in who we are together.
Forever changed
Forever connected
We are friends.
