missing my bestie pt 1

i'm sad to have lost a friend. they are not really lost, but an expanse of water now stretches between us a physical barrier that has the audacity to be a financial one as well. if only the world had been built a little kinder perhaps we could still knock on each other's doors and know we will be let in and greeted with kindness and silliness and i miss the way we would talk and help each other and unintentionally draw each other back to our less-than-perfect habits. i miss the hug i knew i could get just across the parking lot
