—IS THERE ROOM ON YOUR SHOULDERS?

 

The Upside

At least I didn’t find you. 

At least I loaned you that chunk of money the first time (though not the second). 

At least we were best friends going on 16 years. 

At least you got to call me a Dick and we both got a jolly laugh out of that. 

At least no one got hurt (until they did).

At least we bought each other’s books (and drinks). 

At least we knew who the frauds and wolves were among us.

At least you knew how much I loved you. 

At least one of us is still alive to write this.
