Old Friends


Isn't it fun how we go months without talking and yet every time we see each other it's like we were never apart?
We've been there, through the good and the bad, we became close over the pain, we held hands and gave support when the air changed and took everyone away.
Then the time to leave came, taking separates ways was the best for us, for our interests, for our dreams and even then we knew, we knew that no matter what happened, we were going to be around for one and other in those times of need.
Life came and went, became repetitive, changed, made us better, brighter, bigger and responsible, adulthood came to chase us, because unlike what we wanted to believe, there was no escape, just one way to get to that dream and adulthood was in the middle of that road.
We broke apart or at least our roads did, there was a certain pain in that, knowing that we weren't going be together anymore made me realise how many people left without leaving visible trail in my soul, but with you, it was all different.
The messages, the contact brought us closer, those night calls you never missed, no matter if you were alone or with good company and something inside melted, because it was right there when I realised that our friendship of many years, of many up's and down's made us stronger together.
And today when I see you again I feel it, that conexion, the way we seem to be connected even when we are apart, the way we seem to talk about everything, the way we seem to feel like we belong, without awkwardness, without silence.
It's all like it used to be, the only difference is in us, in our souls and the way our wounds seemed to have healed, in the way we seemed to have grown up but still manage to be the same person after all this years.
We did it right, at least in this friendship, because even when we are old friends, everything seems brand new.
Mayte.
