some friendships are like glass candy.
pretty, but awkward when you realize
they're not meant to be satisfying.
other friendships are like colored beads:
you traded the living soil of the Earth
just to hold them, small and foreign,
in your hand. Then you lose them one by one.
the best friendships need no comparison to glass,
unless it be the smooth green of sea-glass,
weathered by waves and sand,
held in your hand
