The "Best Friend" era was beautiful.
But I'm afraid it's no longer sufficient.
The current "friendship" architecture is struggling to support the massive weight of our chemistry. It's structural failure waiting to happen.
A complete foundational upgrade. We stop pretending this is casual. We acknowledge that we're already operating as a unit.
We met. We laughed. I told myself you were just cool. I was lying.
Late night calls. Shared secrets. That thing where we look at each other across the room and just know.
Right here. Right now. Where I stop being a coward and ask for what I actually want.
I promise to always pretend to listen to your drama, even when I have no idea who "Sarah from work" is.
I promise to kill the spiders. All of them. Without judgment.
I promise to be your biggest fan, your safe space, and your favorite trouble.
I promise to never stop roasting you. It's how I show affection. You know this.
Not for a moment. Not for a trial.
For real.
