A Guidebook to My Future Friends	A
I wish I had friends	A
Friends who would like me even when I am dramatic	B
when I am too loud for quiet rooms	C
when my jokes don't land	D
when I don't know the cool songs	E
when the references fly over my head	F
and I am the only one still asking for the explanation	G
I wish I had friends I could call	H
with tears still fresh on my face	I
and somehow before the conversation ends	A
the world would feel lighter	J
Friends who would tell me about their days	K
their heartbreaks	L
their annoying coworkers	M
their impossible dreams	N
until I remembered that everyone is carrying something	O
and none of us are doing this alone	P
I wish I had friends who would laugh at my eye rolls	Q
and roll their eyes when I laugh	R
Friends with a permanent dent beside me on the couch	S
the same drinks in our hands every Friday	T
the same stories told for the hundredth time	U
the same rants	Q
the same terrible decisions	Q
made with far too much confidence	Q
I wish I had friends who would embarrass themselves	Q
just so I would not have to feel embarrassed alone	P
and then laugh about it later right to my face	Q
as if carrying each other's awkward moments	Q
was written into the terms and conditions of friendship	V
I wish I had friends woven so naturally into my life	W
that loving them would feel like breathing	O
Like childhood	X
Like playdates stained with sand and dust and water	J
Like knocking on a door and already knowing the answer would be yes	Q
No planning	O
No rehearsing	O
No wondering if I belonged	Y
Just showing up	Z
I wish I had friends I could call mine	A2
People who show up	Z
People who stay	B2
People who speak up for me when I forget how to speak for myself	C2
People who dream ridiculous dreams beside me	T
and promise that growing older	J
does not mean growing apart	D2
I wish I had friends my parents would love	E2
Friends whose names become ordinary in my house	Q
mentioned as casually as weather reports	Q
Friends who come over so often	G
they stop feeling like guests	Q
Friends who pile into cars for nowhere in particular	J
with a carefully curated playlist	D2
and windows rolled down	F2
screaming lyrics like we wrote the songs ourselves	Q
I wish for Yulu rides under sleepy streetlights	Q
For late night drinks	Q
For ugly cries that dissolve into laughter	J
For waking up with a headache	G2
wearing someone else's clothes	Q
and realizing somewhere along the way	B2
they had started feeling like my own	P
I wish for memories	Q
that become traditions	Q
traditions that become habits	Q
habits that become a life	W
And sometimes	Q
sitting alone today	B2
I can see it all	H
The couch	S
The playlist	B2
The laughter	J
The drives	Q
The borrowed clothes	Q
The hangovers	Q
The years	Q
A thousand ordinary moments	Q
stacked gently on top of one another	J
until they become something extraordinary	T
I can see the friends I haven't met yet	B2
The ones who don't know they're being written about	B2
The ones who don't know	H2
that somewhere	I2
someone is already saving them a seat on the couch	S
This is a guidebook to them	J2
And if we ever find each other	J
I hope we stay	B2
I hope we stay through new jobs	Q
new cities	Q
new loves	Q
new versions of ourselves	Q
I hope we stay until our stories become impossible to separate	B2
And I hope	K2
years from now	L2
when the playlist has changed	B2
and the drinks are different	B2
and the laughter is softer	J
we still find our way back to one another	J
As if we had been friends all along	M2
