Finally!
Today was the day I'd meet him, after 3 years I'll see my best friend again
He left to study abroad in another country so he could be successful like his older brother; he owns and runs his own art and music companies
I've known him for years, ever since we were kids
We always played together and stayed together
I could remember the first day we met, we both sat on opposite sides of the lunch area, silently and by our selves
No one ever noticed us, no one ever cared for us, no one wanted us; we had no one
Our parents were dead, our homes were burned, and our friends avoided us out of 'pity'
We knew about each other
We sat next to each other in class
Our little lockers were next to each other
When we walked home, we walked down the same street, just on opposite sides of the side walk
One day our teacher said we are going to work on a project, we could work alone or with a friend
I and he didn't have any friends; it was us in the dark
We were paired together
Not by choice, by not getting picked
We didn't know each other
We didn't want to talk, but we ended up doing it anyway
We didn't talk about school but instead he said one statement:
"Don't be afraid"
I didn't understand what he meant at first, but as time went by I began to understand
This was something that only we could understand
I was afraid of his intentions, he didn't seem like the type to understand; he did
The phrase 'don't be afraid' was directed to him
He didn't want me to fear him
He didn't want me to leave him now that he has come in contact with someone
Neither did I
But
I was afraid of him
He was afraid of me
We both knew it because we were both the same
We understood each other without knowing ourselves
We didn't have to speak to get to know one another, we just did
We didn't have to talk about our feelings, because we already had them
All we had to do was connect
Not mentally
Not emotionally
Not spiritually
Physically
We didn't know what it was like to come in contact with another person, so we tried
It was erratic to us, we were erratic to ourselves
We liked it
The warmth, the feelings, the comfort of another person
Others felt the often, we never had the chance and it felt good
Years later, we became closer
We lived together
Ate together
Slept, in the same bed, together
We decided to stay in the same school
We didn't talk much because we already knew what the other was thinking
Soon we began to love each other, like brothers and sisters would, but we didn't classify it that way
We thought that it was something no other person alive could understand our developing bond
We went t the prom together
We danced together
We laughed and smiled only to each other
We drove together
We worked in the same building
We always stayed together
We studied together
We passed our tests together
Then we graduated together
I thought that he would never leave me
He never did
His job called him to change and help out somewhere across the world
He had to leave
This was crushing to my heart, my soul, my being
I could see in his eyes he didn't want to go, but he thought it would benefit the both of us
We didn't want to lose each other, we were all we had left and we didn't want to let go
We did and we regretter it
He was gone for three years
We were alone
Separate again
Alone
I rang in our head
It stabbed our hearts
It burned our tears and stained our face
We could see it in the letters we wrote
Dark circles around the end of each one we wrote
Our hearts were across the world
So far a part; but now he was coming back
Years of pain and suffering; a repeat of our childhood
Loneliness ate at us everyday
Its raining, I'm waiting, and waiting
He's coming
I can see him!
He's drenched but happy
He told me he quit and left
I didn't understand why, not until he smiled at me the way he always does, then I didn't need him to tell me the answer
I already knew
He didn't want that loneliness again
He didn't want a repeated childhood
He wanted to be happy
To touch
To feel
Not be shunned by the cold world
Not be exiled by society
Not unwanted
We wanted to sty together
We wanted to be loved
Interlocking hands, similar to when we were little, we walked back to the place we called home and never broke a part again
