Love Stretches Out

PEMA: i'm sorry you're sad
PEMA: i was really sad when you left too
PEMA: that was a weird void

LAURA: i didn't like feeling jealous of you
LAURA: not jealous of you
LAURA: of your new friends, is what i mean to say
LAURA: and yeah, it made me wonder if people felt that when i left

PEMA: new friends are like new views, maybe.
PEMA: they may turn out to be pretty and inspiring, but they're never the ones you leave back home

LAURA: aww
LAURA: this weekend was the twins next door's birthday
LAURA: so i was telling them after the party how much we loved them and loved sharing their growing up together, etc.

PEMA: that's really sweet

LAURA: and sophia got really sad and wouldn't say why

PEMA: oh no, did she ever say?

LAURA: finally she fessed that she was sad because i said such nice things to the boys and that i don't say that to her

PEMA: omg, that girl is articulate

LAURA: so i had this conversation with her that love is not like cookies
LAURA: a plate of cookies, every time you eat one, you have less cookies
LAURA: but with love, every time you love someone new, you only have more love to give, your heart gets bigger
LAURA: you can love more
LAURA: so anyway, here i was talking that talk, but not walking it when it came to you
LAURA: i was feeling like someone else was nibbling on my cookie
LAURA: you
LAURA: silly me

PEMA: i'm a bake oven
PEMA: not just a cookie plate.

LAURA: new friends could never be more sexy, exciting, new and shiny than your old friends, right?

PEMA: what does ani say?
PEMA: there's nothing like seeing your own history in the faces of your friends?

LAURA: yeah
LAURA: she also says f*ck you a lot
LAURA: was glad that wasn't your quote

PEMA: hehe

LAURA: ani quote time

PEMA: f*ck you?

LAURA: when i look down, i miss all the good stuff. when i look up, i just trip over things

PEMA: that's great

LAURA: its ani

PEMA: are you still feeling sad?

LAURA: better to talk to you

PEMA: can i blog that sweet cookie talk?

LAURA: yeah.
