My Kikay Bestfriend - G

Our story began with a loss, though it’s sad to see it that way. However, I guess the saying was right: You lose someone in exchange for another. It was the aftermath of the loss that made me realize I needed someone to cling to, to hold on. I was left alone, and was boxed in a world of my own, until you came along.

You managed to help me through the pain, and even shared the pain with me. Come hell or high water, you were there to be my friend though you’re not part of my circle; and I felt more than sorry to not have seen that in you from the start. And as my circle started to lose its shape, you remained. You even welcomed me to your world, one that I am very much proud to be part of.

We had gone through our first real-life work together. Though it was not the career I was ideally linked to, I believed a part of me wanted to stay, because in that confined little office space, was you – that someone who knew me better than anyone else, who became my instant confidante and who tells me the what and what not’s in my states of confusion.

You saw me fall out of love, and fall back in love again. You saw me at my worst, and witnessed me stand up and be my best, again.

Amidst the constraints and differences, we remained to be the best of friends. Though we aren’t the type to be so engrossed about everything that happens with each other’s lives, nor do we constantly meet and catch up, I know that I can always crash back to you, if deemed necessary.

It’s so uncool that we don’t have an anniversary to keep count of our years of friendship. But why care about numbers, when what’s important is I have you?

Happy Birthday G! Kudos!
