There are
some people I miss having around. But, you know, I made some decision that
changed me, as well as they did it to change them. We are not the same guys we
were years ago. We became a bit of strangers with good memories of the past.
It’s just
like that feeling you get when passing by somebody and thinking “oh, I know him/her”
but consciously you know you never met him. I know them by sight, I know their
names, where most of them live, but that’s it.
But there
is an exception to this rule: the long-term friendships. Those that you barely
talk to them, but when you do, it’s just like you saw them yesterday and
everything between you always go perfectly fine. They know you so well they can
guess your poker face or what you feel only by the way you write it. You are an
open book to them, and vice-versa.
Sometimes I
think that people I miss were actually colleagues, friends of a time or a cycle
of my life. But I’m cool with it… It’s comforting to know that they were in my
life and helped me when I needed at certain time/situation, and that I also
helped them. Also, it’s even more amazing to know that a few of them — really a
few — became friends by heart; those true ones I was just referring to.
So all I
can do for now is thank them all for being part of my history, and take good
care of the gold ones to always be ready to be there for them, because I’m 100%
sure: they are here for me if I really need. =)
Let’s keep
moving. The world doesn’t stop and we gotta keep up the pace.
