A Lifelong Friendship

You run into an old friend who you have not seen for ages. Then you start talking about your old memories together and how life used to be when you were close. All the adventures, all the mishaps that made you burst into laughter or maybe even into tears. You remember, back then, you commited yourself to something: that no matter what happened, nothing would ever tear your friendship apart. It was a promise full of passion, truth and wisdom. It was the kind of promise that can only come from the hearts of the very young. But time is ruthless and you end up going where life takes you. She had to move. Now life would lie in one extreme: The philosophy of the loner. It was sort of drastic, but what can you expect from a 14-year-old boy?

Over the course of lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Today, unavoidably, life did its job one more time.
