I didn’t check off
any of my boxes
today.
I didn’t finish
any of the things
I had planned.
But my time
was spent even better
than I expected.
I checked off
hours
with a friend –
and not just
a friend,
but someone I needed
to be with today,
someone I’ve been missing,
someone I’ve known for a while
but not forever,
who still manages
to know me
in a way
others don’t,
who sees the grit
in the depth
and the crud
even in the shallows,
and never judges me
for either.
And she was exactly who
and what
I needed.
For Cambria.
