Two were in one high school marching band together.
Two were in another, though one marched with a flagpole, not an instrument.
All of us attended the same college.
We lived together, or spent enough time together that we might as well have lived together.
One of these women introduced me to the man I love.
The other two questioned me incredulously after witnessing the affair.
We've shared the best of times, and the worst of times.
These are some of my true friends.
