I slept over (at your house)
for the first time this summer.
I'd never been there before; it was only one night.
You're the best friend I always had never had.
We'd had countless sleepovers before of course, curled up on some foreign mattress that only belonged to us temporarily.
Nights of whispers in the dark, debriefing and talking until we drifted off and didn't anymore; comfortable silence and chilly rooms.
Sleeping over (at your house) felt so natural, as though we grew up doing it. Sneaking midnight snacks, trying to make friendship bracelets, playing mermaids in the pool, falling asleep on the couch watching a movie, pinky promising: memories that don't exist but almost do.
Walking into your house for the first time didn't feel like it was.
Your family feels like mine even though they're from opposite sides of the world, but our moms squint at their phone in the same way and our dads drive the same way.
Different mattress, different room, different pillow,
same person.
Out of everyone, yours was the only house I slept over at this summer. I'm glad it was. It felt like coming home.

Girlhood is like wearing a hair tie on your wrist that you didn’t buy, It’s never your hair tie it’s just your turn with it.
