friends (Boston)

I wonder: what causes people to become friends.  It seems to me that people either vibe or they don't.  There is some gray area, but I'm talking about my HOMIES.  For some, it makes mere minutes to recognize a bond, a plutonic attraction; like we both speak the same spiritual language...

A friend is somebody I feel comfortable in silence with. 
A friend is somebody I can share an abstract thought with. 
A friend is somebody that I fit into when I hug and always go for the same type of high five. Friends remember things that I'm passionate about and little details of the thoughts I once shared with them. 
Friends smile when they see me, they can't help it. 
A friend is somebody that I share an unfiltered, genuine laugh with, and I could never be afraid or embarrassed to cry in front of. 
Friends know when to say nothing or when to do all the talking. 
At the core, A friend is somebody who tries to be a friend 

​And to have a friend, I gotta be a friend.
