Im getting rid of things in my house, and I came across an old journal. I found an interesting entry, which I titled: Footprint friends (the true definition of a true friend).I know many of these. Andrea Moore, Esther Jewel Holmes Shin, Nwow Whitaker, Tracey, Michelle Hester Haire, Nem Malabuyo , Jennifer Byars Day , @jozzer @Sharon Dumalo There are friends, and then there is always that one. I call this the footprint friend. We stay up until morning, eating, eating, and eating some more eating until we nearly explode, Laughing until we can’t breath chasing each around with pillows and tackling each other to the floor Impersonating people, making fun of people, making up code names and having a blast with verbal play. You like my accents, and you always make me do them We talk during movies, making fun of about everything we can find. We can act as incredibly stupid together as we desire The best part is laughing at things that no one else will find funny We couldnt care less if people think we are lunatics We are having the times of our lives. Tell the boring zombies to leave us alone Weve created an identity of our own epic making, and we shall prevail how dare anyone try to question why we do the things which we do? with you, I can stare at the wall, when I really don’t feel like talking... You just let me be Sleep around you all day, and you just let me. You’re cool around me, with my goofy expressions, and you can handle my absolute insane sugar high (usually between the hours of 2-4 a.m) It’s called being free in my very own and skin, and somehow I feel like I fit around you. I can’t hide from you When something is wrong, you know And you dig it out of me, even when I don’t want to talk I stop caring to hide my weakness I find myself wanting to tell you my weaknesses, when I usually do the opposite with the world around me. I can tell you anything I can list my failures you might act disappointed But you simply laugh, and you tell me to start over With you its a fresh clean slate at all times All judgement aside we know we are messed up humans And We really dont want to hide. (wait. that rhymed). You care about my life and dreams You don’t always listen, but when you do, You listen as if I’m the only one in the world. you can handle my external processing. You know, where I spill out 1,000 crazy thoughts and ideas, until youre just laughing at me. You ask to hear me sing You make me sing, even when I dont want to If youre a footprint friend, Ive most likely either written a song for you Or a parody with you You give me funny notes and coffees on bad days My favorite candy When I’m sick, you’re there to make me laugh and I forget that I was even sick until I try to bounce back, but then I realize that I’m not even close to being better yet We get frustrated with each other, but we never stay frustrated for long we always end up laughing at our hard heads and stubborn wills that led us to this fight to begin with. You always make me smile Sometimes hug me so tightly on purpose, that I can’t breath Or you show me a funny song When things suck, you just let me know that you don’t know what to do but you’re just there Most of all, I know you’ll do the same for me, for anything I do for you I trust you with my life and hold nothing back We talk about our lives. The past , the present , and the future and I always wonder if you’ll be around forever I really don’t know, but I hope, and hope, and hope some more that you will That you’ll always be in the story of my life, somehow I talk about you as if you will. If we should part ways , I hope I’m as unforgettable to you as you are to me I hope that when the world bores you, You’ll wish I could be there I hope that you’ll think of me, with every random thing which you see, that reminds you of the priceless memories which weve created. I know that’s how I’ll be I hope Ive left a print large enough to make you laugh at a whim large enough to miss large enough to never forget and large enough to be the only print like this in your life. youve certainly left one in mine.
