An open letter to (long distance) Bestie ..


Recently had patch up with my old memory box, finally the strong will to walk through my own memory lane won against my continuous resistance.  And there I saw picture of us, the one I love the most. We're laughing, I'm holding the bills of our first 'after interview' Domino's party. Sitting right beside you, making comic face as usual to spoil your selfie and yet 'out of the blue' I snatched your phone and took this selfie without having idea that this will inspire me to write this piece and on other side made me emotional for our friendship. (You know that I don't cry :p) I never told you this but memories of ours haunt me and ache me deep down where I just can't reach to heal it.

In that picture everything was at ease, we both were unknown to the storm which was yet to be come and pull us in different direction. The storm  wasn't going to remind us about our strong bond neither the time long distance. Who knew that wondering in the native wasn't going to happen now and then in this new city. That lazy summer afternoon in your room completing F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode for nth number of time. Mood freshener hot  tea in even hotter room of yours, where you've never let me open the windows just because of that li'l lizard friend of yours. We never knew how hard it could be to stay apart in the same new city.

It was so easy to meet you when I could just walk across the street and be at your plot, giving you just one ring to call you downstairs where we've spent hours of talking and discussing things  in that 'coming in 5 minute' response to our mother.  I miss these stuffs when I'm exploring new cafes or new restaurant, I miss you but most of all I miss being with you! That 'ice cream' corner of our, stalking guys and talking every weird stuff to let our stress out, judging and insulting every single person at 'Bortalav' just because we were together. This word Together frightens me as I'm not able to be with you in the moment physically. It feels like heavy load and TBH I can do anything to have you here, but I won't. And that's where I fail. I won't do anything !!!

It makes me sad that I can't give you shoulder when you're frustrated or often forgets to call you to have that long chit chat. I know you've thousand things to tell me and expecting a millions from me as well. That fact is I know everything but lacking to do anything. It hurts me that I am not doing single thing to build the bridge to disappear the tension or say distance.
But yes, dear long distance bestie in the same new city whom I don’t see everyday I am collecting myself to relive the moments we've once lived with every possible way! Friendship between us will surely be something that people will get jealous of. I am your devil who is trying to be honest!
