the momentum of stillness

Really missing my best friend

those words
something about those 8 words
strung together, ringing in my head
maybe it was only 2:27 am
but it felt sunny
on my side of the earth.
And it wasn’t about love
or romantic aspersions.
No, it was about being human
and not understanding what that’s
even all about.
“I wouldn’t want to be without you anyway.”
