there we sat.

and there we sat. being the teller of of all truths. belly laughing & indulging. finding ourselves in moments of silence, mesmerized by how the ocean moves. we could have stared at it forever. how does the earth’s guts not fall out? how is it that we’re technically standing sideways compared to our friends on the other side of the world? what the hell even is gravity? where does the world stop and the universe start? how do i love without being deeply wounded? how do we not let comparison be thief’s? what if it doesn’t change? what if he doesn’t come back? why did we order two single pieces of fish instead of the single dish of two fish? extra fries of course. how did we find a friendship so perfectly simple and so simply satisfying?
