Send this to that one friend, that one friend we all got, who would say hi to a stranger on the street. Send this to that one friend who would go to circus camp. Send this to that one friend who never knows what to do with their hands during photos, who still cries when they think of the PopularMMOs break up video, who would eat anything (and I truly mean anything) if you bet five bucks on it. Send this to that one friend who buys everything off Facebook Marketplace. Send this to that one friend who can’t sleep at night, who thinks of you but never calls because they hate to bother you, who plays Spyro 2: Rypto’s Rage and clips through the stage just to glide in the sunsetting sky, twitching and polygonic. Send this to that one friend who can’t say anything that isn’t referencing something else until you tell them you’re sick and you’re driving to the ER, their voice returning to you, watery: just let me know what room you’re in, I’m letting myself into the house, I’m bringing the stuffed animal you can’t sleep without, I’m calling your mom and telling her don’t worry don’t worry don’t worry. Send this to that one friend that never was but you really wish would be. Send this to that friend, that one friend we all got, who you’d love to do dinner and a movie with, yes in that way, and if it isn’t what we hoped, we can forget about it. Send this to that one friend who you email every day. Send this to that one friend whose poverty is the only thing saving them from a gambling addiction. Send this to that one friend who has no game to speak of. Send this to that one friend, that one friend we all got, who moved away. Send this to that one friend that would laugh if you slipped on a patch of ice before they asked if you’re okay, but once they do, you say: don’t worry don’t worry don’t worry. Send this to that one friend who unironically hisses at people due to their Warrior Cats fixation that they never really grew out of which you can’t tell if it’s a fetish or just a habit but it doesn’t really matter, you let them bite and scratch at you anyways. Send this to that one friend, that one friend we all got, who died. Send this to that one friend who you forgive. Send this to that one friend, that one friend we all got, who you miss so much but can’t bear to see again. Send this to that one friend so that you never have to say anything (and I truly mean anything) yourself.
