That Moment When Our Eyes Locked.

I've always been a firm believer in recording down your precious moments in anyway you can. Because who knows one day if you'll lose your memory and you want a way to recuperate with your confusion? Or what if you find yourself down in the dumps wishing you could go back in time and try to recreate the wonderful memories you once had? Which is why I love writing and photography. One of the most beautiful ways to capture the moment and store it forever (as long as my opuss account is active anyway).
So what happened today that made me want to capture the moments in words? Simple. I met him. Yes, him which requires no name and yet you have the general idea of who he is.
We met briefly since I was in SP for a while only. And that brief period of time was enough to make me realize something beautiful about friendship. That no matter how far you are or how long you haven't seen each other, it doesn't matter. Because true friendship never really stops just like that. I've experienced this before with school friends whom every time I gtalk with them, it's always a pleasure. As if no time has passed at all when in fact it has been a couple of years since we last saw each other.
But of course these kind of friendships are hard to find. Trust me we've all gained and lost friends. But the one who still stands there after what seems like an eternity, are the ones who should truly be cherished and kept forever.
I felt the same kind of connection with him today. Ecstatic, nervous as hell, and shy are not enough to describe my emotions when I saw him. The smile that could light up the place, the laugh that is just as contagious and the personality that annoys and entertains me are few of his attributes I can explain. walking around looking at random things enjoying the little time we have together was perfection in its utmost simplest form. And when I looked at him studying his features, I realized his imperfections and strengths are what makes him...well, mine :) and I fell even more in love with him afterwards.
No doubt we are as opposite as water and fire. But we balance each other pretty well. And that has always been something about us that I was always proud of. They say black and white can't mix, they obviously haven't tasted Oreo.
It was a pretty good day. The one where I felt as if we've never parted, like time stopped for a while and it resumed when we're in the same room. Each time I laughed it was a miracle because I haven't been out with friends for so long I forgot what it felt like to be with him or people my age. I've always had to mature so fast I didn't stop to be a kid and playful once in a while.
I am grateful that after all I've been through, the emotional despair and trying to make sense of everything around me, that I still have something so simple - such as seeing him personally - to look forward to in the days to come :)
