If you are my friend


Last night at 3am we were still not done talking. This morning we started with a long breakfast and the talking continued…
What are friends for? One late night in August 2007 I was taking the train from Bremen to Paris to start INSEAD. My friends were there singing as the train was leaving. In May 2008 I was wondering what to do with the McKinsey offer I had received; we were in a house by a lake close to Berlin, discussing what to do next. That’s what my friends are for.
This morning we woke up and set the table for a delicious breakfast. We ate, talked. We will leave the house soon, go out for a walk, watch a dance show at the university and then go to the old student bar, The Other Side. That’s what my friends are for. I don’t know any better, and I wish I hadn't tried to learn anything else. 
Today, I am happy to be here where friends are for me just this: a Saturday when I can be just the way I am.
