my partner in crime

Do you know the feeling of coming full circle? How about the feeling of coming to terms with the past?


She was my “partner in crime” back in our care-free days a.k.a. high school days. We had been through so many things which I believe are best kept secretly locked away with the memories of those long ago days. Hahaha.

We had an odd friendship – odd in a way that we had to argue and fight with all our might about anything and everything – because our day wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t argue or fight (don’t know until now why it had to be that way, hehehe). We could hurt each other real bad; and yet without erasing the fact that we had one of the best friendships ever; that at the end of the day, I knew she was my closest dearest friend.


We were so in sync that we could communicate without words, we understood one another even in silence, we knew what was in each other’s minds and hearts that we could complete the other’s sentence or follow the other’s train of thought.


In my heart I knew that the friendship we had shared is one of my best; she will always be the reason why my younger days had been one of a kind; and she will always be a part of who I am and who I have become.


After more than a decade of almost zero communication because of, but not limited to, shifting perspectives, changing priorities and relentless pursuit of our individual dreams and aspirations, we have come full circle; and so I hope. Time and distance merged into a moment of lifelong memories. I came face to face with the ghost that haunted me all these years and saw it shatter into pieces because of one moment that touched the heart in endless poignant ways - a string of emotions that spanned oceans and transcended time. I felt the years have merged into one single moment and in that instant, I have come full circle.


Thank you for reaching out again. I’ve always believed that time and distance will never change everything we had together, more than half of our lives away. Long as you are in my heart, we will never say goodbye – remember this line?


I missed you so much my dearest friend. Hehe, you know who you are.


This is for you. My tribute to our friendship.


I hope that despite the time and distance that separate us, the issues that came in between us and everything unsaid and undone – we can still find deep in our hearts the friendship that we once shared and continue the circle of friendship again.
