eharmony: a friend is a miracle.
just retelling a real life story; i just exaggerated itfirst perspective.
he wanted to meet me
he said he would love to see me
this can't be real
Internet could be under construction and most likely doing something wrong
because me, I never hear this from anyone
Yeah, we've been e-mailing each other.
Yeah, we've sent each other pictures of ourselves
Although my picture would probably lower my chance of actually getting to know him better.
He even sent him a picture of his family.
And NOW, the question I doubt would come to his mind and have the urge to ask me..
The question I thought I wouldn't be able to answer because I was convinced it was never going to happen.
HAPPENED.
So, I replied back.
I would love to meet you.
That phrase took an eternity for me to write.
The mouse took forever to click that "send" button.
This was definitely a first.
We planned, it got cancelled
We planned again, it got cancelled
Maybe because he is a workaholic
Maybe because he goes everywhere and has no time for me
However I did not lose hope.
Finally, we met.
Ate Lunch, the normal adult dates .. if you call it one
But knowing that I am talking to someone I am interested in was not the reason why I loved that day.
It's knowing that we talked about almost everything.
From coffees, to work, to friend and to food.
It's like we were in our own world, the person next to us picking his nose won't cause us to jump into pits of laughter.
The couple arguing by the right side corner wouldn't interest us
Not even the waiter asking if we want anything else could break the inseparable bond.
It ended with a kiss on the cheek.
Pretty Good.
Few months later, we've been into some rocky roads.
We were too busy to e-mail each other.
Too caught up on other things to call each other.
But I know that the bond wouldn't change no matter how bad the tides are.
Then we couldn't communicate at all.
Not even a short e-mail or a voicemail to keep in touch.
Too busy. too busy. always too busy.
I would say the same thing to myself though.
I thought being 25 is perfect, i thought wrong.
Out of nowhere, just finished working
Checking my e-mail as usual, not even thinking if HE e-mailed something.
Just doing the normal routines.
While, i saw HIS name.
The name sounded new to me for an instant
But of course I still remember him, almost everything about him.
I clicked the e-mail, took a deep breath.
Well, he sounded like nothing happened at all.
That the miscommunication we had was not a big deal.
That the few months we have not talked to each other were only just a few days.
However, he sounded too happy, too excited to be able to meet up with me .. again.
I know THIS time I wouldn't expect a lot from HIM.
I'll just have fun, accept whatever he thinks of me and enjoy a rendez vous with a lost friend.
The day has come.
I would just smile and talk be as polite and ordinary and not get hooked by his bait.
However, it happened AGAIN.
We were once again reconnected.
It's like we did this over a thousand times, talking and laughing.
Even though this was only the Second time I have met him.
Now, he comes in straight and frank.
He had told me Eharmony was just made because he is forced.
Forced to be a husband and find a merry wife to be with.
While he is still focused on work.
Forced by his traditional parents to make a family of his own.
While he is still working with his passion, and still have not thought about sacrificing it.
I thought to myself, That's just like me.
Friends and Relatives forcing me, while I already have a great job and living a great single life.
In my 25th year of living, anything could happen and
I choose it to be like this.
It does not even make me sad knowing that i wouldn't have a relationship to maintain this year.
It makes me happy that he was truthful and that he made me learn something about how I'm going to live my life for now.
I am content.
Content because as we returned back to talking, adjusting the bond we already had from the start, I know this would be unbreakable. Not only did my future became more clear but I also made a new and everlasting friendship with HIM.
I KNOW he would be there in my wedding, my first child and many more exciting things to come.
but also during the downtime when the cruelty of the world seem to get heavier on me.
He would drive me around town, show me new things I have not seen.
First I thought he was a lover
Then A heart breaker
Suddenly turning to a player, in my point of view.
and NOW A FRIEND.
What I thought I needed turned out to be something better.
I HAD TO HAVE IT.
You know you will always be there, maybe not as a lover but as someone that had changed my life.
That ought to have a nickname.. let's see.
Well, you.... you're A MIRACLE.
