recent scenes from an old friendship

1) late night: you listening intently while old tales of heartbreak were told over shakes, fiolo laftaf open, research paper forgotten, on another table. friendship first.

2) middle of the afternoon: you nodded, and i'd turn the page, and we'd read on further into the novel together, mr. golightly by sally vickers. outside, the propellers hummed, turning, propelling us, in airplane, home.

3) lunch: deep into my exam week, hours all accounted for, you padded down the stairs and we discussed, lunch. with the delivery, i left papers, and we ate, a quick half-hour of food and friendship, filling.

4) afternoon: a stressed week behind, and one ahead, i insisted on a retail break, and we walked miles of mall searching for the perfect flip-flop for my fussy feet. you looked at me fitting, and said "happy." enough of that, we slid down our seats for the fantabulous Spanish movie (where the women wore sexy heels).

5) evenings: i was lucky. i caught both your crab dinners -- shell-breaking, sawsawan, loads of rice, coke, and laughter. crab-greed and crab delight.

6) anytime: anytime would find us in sala, on sofas, talking intently of our lives, our loves, our selves.

thanks for the company. till next time. take care :).
