We Understand Each Other
I can be silly and stupid and dumb
And she has my back
Defending my idiocy to each any and all
I can be mean and say hurtful things
And she understands
I am cranky because I am tired or in pain
I can be myself when I am with her
Knowing she will not be pushed away
Because she loves me, and I love her
And when she is silly and stupid and dumb
I have her back
Defending her idiocy to each, any and all
And when she is mean and says hurtful things
I understand
She is cranky because she is tired or in pain
We have been friends for over fifty years
There is no one I can laugh harder with
Because we have a history
One of us can just say one word
And the other turns into a hyena
Laughing in spite of everything else
When we are together
We turn into five year olds again
The ones who met in kindergarten in 1957.
There is nothing as rejuvenating
As invigorating
Or as liberating as a best friend for life.
