We met in university. From the moment I met him, we hit it off as if we were long lost siblings that were somehow separated, and now found each other again. It was as if I had known him all my life. He was a kindred spirit.
Unfortunately the day came when we had to say goodbye and get on our respective paths in life. His path led him across the causeway. My path remained here. I am awful in keeping in touch. But he persevered. He always kept in touch. He never lost me.
He is the only person who knows me. Truly knows me, with all my failings and imperfections. And he is still my friend in spite of that. He does not judge me. He listens. He cares. He is always there for me.
Looking back at my life, I realize that he was, and still is, my best friend. Best friends need not see each other or talk to each other every day. Best friends need not always agree on everything. Best friends dwell in your heart long after you have said goodbye. I know I am in his heart as much as he is in mine.
Happy birthday my darling friend!
