ALONG our journey of life we meet different kinds of people. There are some who stays and there are some who leaves without a trace. When we are lucky enough and open to build relationship with others, we can have a lasting friendship with a few of them. It all depends on how one values the other.

Just recently, i have gotten a surprise from an old friend. It has been nearly four years without any contact or whatsoever with him. Am so glad to have an old buddy back. He's been my best bud in college.

Our communication has come to a stop without any reason at all. Maybe we are just so tied up with life and don't have enough time to talk and mind each other's business. Not considering the distance as a factor for the sudden silence.

However, i guess there are friendships that lasts. That eventhough without a word, it has been an understatement that we both remain as we are.

Though it has been years, i can say that nothing has changed. He is still the same person i know. The ever truly, madly, deeply in love guy with our friend.

I salute him for having the courage to admit ...
... that he can't live without her. I toast a cheer to him for the many sacrifices he has made just to keep their relationship going. I recalled him lamenting that nothings going right about them. But i had told him once that he has to make a decision as to whether he'll let go or continue fighting and never give up.

I believe that what really makes a relationship work is each other's dedication to stay together. When you are searching, you can never stop looking because there will always be someone better that will come along your way. That's the importance of making a decision. You gotta put an end to your search and decide who'll you spent life with.

I am proud of him for humbly acknowledging the fact that he can be restless without her. I know it took a lot of thinking for him. They have went through breakups. I know there has been times when he reached the point of saying that he had enough. But i am glad he hold on. You see, there are still together for years now.

He's coming back is just at the right time. I think i need somebody from my past to remind me and assure that everything will be fine. I missed our talks and the feeling that somebody out there watches over me from afar.

Now i can tell him my stories. I can share my failures, depressions, and disappointments without feeling afraid he might not listen. I am confident he would love to hear my happy moments and victories.

Don't know much what to say but it has made me realize that how nice it is to have friends from the past come to life again...
