FACEBOOK FRIENDS / by Annie Curry

I was walking home from work, just a normal day

Until I spotted an old friend sitting across the way 

I hadn’t seen her since college, she never told me she’d moved to LA 

This is so classic Courtney. I waved and screamed, “Hey!” 

 

She started playing that game; she's done this before. 

She so silly that way, a straight jokester to the core 

Pretending she didn’t know me, pretending to “ignore” 

Face in her hands? Hood over her eyes? She’s never a bore! 

 

I remember the day I met Courtney B. 

Freshman year in the same section for Philosophy 3  

She said hi and smiled, then sat next to Billy

We were besties at first site – I knew it. 

 

After we met I sent her a request on Facebook 

Hold on, just chill.

I waited a few days cuz I’m no friendship rook. 

Neither was she because her sweet time she took 

She accepted me after graduation...4 years later. 

 

So when I saw her that day, emotions came rushing in 

C. Bot and me, taking the streets like long-lost twins 

I should do something to show her that we’re still best friends 

Maybe write on her wall or give her a poke... 

That’ll put our friendship on the mend!
