Sunday morning, the lonely hour on the streets, a sunny view. I was driving with the simple company of my coffee, listening to Mumford & Sons at the background.
Then I found myself at this familiar street, turned my head left and saw this house. I couldn’t contain a tiny smile and think –I used to lived there…- The rest of my way I kept thinking about it.I’m not talking about a house I literally lived in, or that I moved from that place. I’m talking about the house of one of my best friends, where I spent some really great moments. If I’m not forgetting something, I think the last time I spoke with her, was at our freshman year or so. Now I’m about to graduate, and my updates about her are by looking at a picture or two in my news feed.
This time I’m writing for those best friends from the past. Those who will always be best friends. Even if you don’t speak to each other, even if you never heard of them again.
There’s this type of best friends I’m talking about, those friendships you appreciate the most, those where you remember a birthday or special date without a reminder. That kind of best friends where you knew the whole family and called grandma’….to their grandma’.
For those best friends who you haven’t spoke to or heard of, but when someone brings their name into a conversation you’re like “Oh, yeah, I know him/her, we were best friends” And we may say it that way, but at least me, deep down I’m still thinking “We are”.
So, for that type of best friends… If for any reason, if its work, destiny, plans, or life… and we lose contact, I just want you to know that in my case, I still remember. That’s life though, things change, people change, interests change. But for me, it means that those memories will stay there, no matter what. And I will remember those years as a part of my life where we crossed and said “Oh, You too?” So wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, I hope you succeed doing what you love, with people around you that appreciates you just like I still do, maybe from the distance, but I’ll think about our friendship and those experiences to myself; as «Best Friends».
