Friend

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Today is my friend Leslie's birthday. The world that was born when we met is an odd one. It is one no one else can understand - which is true of all friendships. Like how Lily can't understand her friendship with Leslie when Leslie never ever gives up a whole sandwich to Lily. I mean, what kind of friendship is that, after all.

(pause)

I don't think Leslie has ever given up a whole sandwich for me, either. How sad that she has to put those kinds of parameters on our friendship.
