Best friends forever...

Best friends forever.

I used to have that kind of relationship with someone. The kind of relationship which people envied. Where we knew what each other thought without having to utter a word. A relationship that was based on love, trust and commitment. We had a one-of-a-kind, out-of-this-world, I'd-willingly-die-for-you, kind of friendship. Just him and I.

Cruelly, things have changed since then.

Now, I rarely speak to him. I no longer know what he thinks or how he feels. I barely even remember the good times we've spent together. In fact, in recent days, I have spent so little time with him, it's no wonder I find it hard to even recognise his voice. It's not that I wanted things to be this way. Trust me, I didn't and don't.

Each night, before I sleep, I miss him 'til my heart aches. I know he misses me back.

I've tried speaking to him, but it's different. He's remained exactly the same. So it's got to be me.

The weirdest thing about all this? Having to hear others tell me about him.

I knew him darn it! I knew him so well! I loved him! I had a special bond with him. He was my best friend. We were best friends forever! We were best friends forever...

I know you still love me. I know you're there waiting for my return. I do want to know you again. I don't want to hear about you anymore. I want to know you again. Help me get to know you again. I need to know you again. I want us to be best friends forever.

You are my best friend forever.

Amen.
