from elementary to high school,
there were friends who I,
or at least for Mom,
viewed as "rivals."
we were always figuratively butting heads for the silent bragging rights amongst the ones who fed us.
we haven't been able to see each other much after we all left our nests,
but now that everyone is about to graduate,
we start crossing paths again.
this time though,
there'll be no shoving and pushing to the top,
but raising and tugging.
