"Weddings and Funerals"

Best friends      
sharing whispered secrets late into the night     
laughing at inside jokes     

crying at sentimental Hallmark card commercials     

dreaming     
Best friends     
writing voluminous letters across the years     
freezing moments with photographs     
offering comfort and strength     
supporting      
Best friends     
visiting at weddings and funerals     
revealing superficial news     

concealing heartbreak and disappointments     

surviving     
Best friends     
reconnecting despite differences     
creating new laughter      
rediscovering commonalities     
hoping
