This poem was inspired by some writing I did earlier in the week with a dear friend of mine. Enjoy!

Friendship is sharing experiences

Writing Marathons

Teaching together

Friendship is being in the same room

With a little bit of vino

talking about whatever is on our mind

Friendship is cathartic exchanges that

exhilarate and

exhaust

Friendship is laughing 10,000 laughs

Friendship is long car rides

Traveling to places unknown

Will we ever get there?

Friendship is 16 years

Without ever opening your refrigerator door

Friendship is

Yes, and...

Friendship is

Not being the smartest person

In the room

Friendship is

Listening

Deeply

To every word
