New friendship, old friend...

We used to be really close. We liked the same things, we ate together, we walked together, we went to class together. We had fun, you know, the kind of fun that you get from the simplest of things. Sometimes, we'd sit silent and we'd feel really contented and happy where we were. It was the kind of friendship that didn't require words or too much effort from both sides. It was the most natural thing.

Then, we had a major misunderstanding. A really big one. Actually, it started with something really silly, but it grew bigger and bigger by the day.

Neither of us admitted fault; neither of us said sorry. So, what started out as a really good friendship ended in hatred and anger. We couldn't stand each other. We literally wanted to kill each other. It was that bad.

Then, one night, I was doing my usual Internet surfing, I saw my ex-friend online. Although we hated each other like mad, no, we didn't delete each other from our Facebook friends' list. Without wasting any time and so that I won't have time to change my mind, I sent a private message. A reply came shortly.

So, now, here we are still chatting in the wee hours of the morning. I feel good about this. It feels like the months that passed that we hated each other and didn't talk didn't take place at all. It's almost surreal. Everything's getting back to the way they used to be.

Old friends, after all, are still the best ones to have. I thank God for this development. I thank God for this "new" friendship. :)
