"I'd do anything for you"
"I'm there for you, whatever, whenever"
Romantic statements. I believe my loved ones when they say this to me.
But what about those other times? You know, when you're sitting around and you just want someone to sit next to you, even if it's to comment on the ludicrousness of some reality TV show. Or to sit outside of a coffee shop with you and people watch, imagining the back story of every couple and family who passes by. Or to ramble around the city on a nice day, no destination in mind, stopping for a drink on a nice patio.
Our world is so scheduled and organized. We have to allot time for people, pencil them in. It leaves no room for that sunny day when you realize you just want your friend to hang out with you, or someone to just sit with you when you feel the world encroaching and you want someone to share it with.
Because the days are long, but the years are short. And looking back at some of my favorite moments, they were never penciled in my calendar.
