a-p-a-r-t


she packed her things immediately after she heard the news ..
she left her responsibilities, her family, her room and her house she just left.
and came to me.

she said: "i wont leave u when ur in this shape"
i laughed: "what shape? my mother just died! so what? im fine.. just go"
but she wouldn't .. she kept there by my side, made sure i slept and ate.
she stayed for three months!

we've been friends since 1988.
we did everything together.
she was that friend who u could stay with,
and do absolutely nothing and not even say a word.
just be there.

we then started growing,
we grew, we shaped ourselves.
as our personalities were stabling...
we were different, we are different.
she is my best friend, she is my BEST friend.
we were so different that even strangers could notice it.

im ok with difference, difference doesn't mean anything to me.
it doesn't threatens me, or bothers me.
one thing does...
she never said it, but i left with out even knowing
or plan on leaving.
i saw it in her eyes, "judgment"

she didn't like what she was seeing.
she didn't like what she was hearing,
i could feel her disappointment, i could sense her wishes.
she wished, i would change.

that is when i realized, different means apart.
we didn't just grow, we didn't just mature.
we grew apart. we landed on different grounds.
i haven't spoken to her, not in ramadan, eid or her birthday
-months-
we just stopped! as if we didn't exist.

all of this runs through my head every single night.
our memories are my new pillow.
sleepless. with guilt, anger and regret.
best friends that dont exist. but are best friends whether they like it or not.
you was, are and will always be my best friend on earth.
ur not just my best friend, ur a TRUE friend, and i love u.

I hope you can put your differences apart and speak to each other again. But I'm thinking, if there are so many differences to the point where you do not agree on things, its hard to understand how you were best friends in the first place. You also pointed yourself that you 'grew' and 'matured', and you became different people, which means your childhood friendship does not neccessarily mean that it will continue in your adulthood.

Its never too late to pick up the fone and start over again =)

Yazeed said...

my advice,
call her, apologize
from what i understand, u both didnt call eachother suddenly, so atleast if u start contact, you have done ur part even if its so late.
i am sure both of you will will forget the past, oo hopefully u'll be able to restore ur friendship.
aham shay the she feels as guilty as u are.
hope 4 the best, oo inshallah u'll find it
good luck

You couldn't have expressed yourself in a better way.
Bes can some one not talk to you in months if you're the best person with words I'd ever seen or should I say read? There must be one hell of a reason.

You know I'm just happy that you found your true friend.. Even if you Haven't been in touch, we all need to atleast know we have a true friend!
AS always sweetheart AMAZING JOB.
-BIG HUG-

*marzouq:
exactly! thats when u know theyre not just ur best, but are true.

*youpi:
7abeeeeeeeeeeebty ..
u know me very well dont u! :p
well yeah, allah e3en.
thanks girl :** love u.

*amoora:
7bebty, ppl who understand and appreciate feelings, are the ones who can read them. so u have a gift, ur senssitive to others and u can feel what they write.

*carls:
i know its like u said, it is hard actually.
we werent different before, since we were kids till the age of 20 almost we were the same.
then the maturing part made it bit complicated.

*daydreamer:
yes , well she doesnt know i have this blog so i dont know.
and like u said its the same with friends, lovers even family members. differences do have an affect on ppl.
but i really dont know what to do ?

*dooda:
i keep thinking about that, but then again a phone call wont solve the problem. that we already have.

*lialy:
7bebty thanks :*

*zooz:
apologize for what?
non of us did anything wrong.
we grew to be different. that is why were not close, were distant. and it hurts. coz theres nothing u can do about it.

*scarlo:
oh baby u here! i miss u 7aaaaaaaaaaaaail ya shagol :**
and what do u mean more often!! hehehe bada3tay feeeni :p

*si7leya:
long time no see :)
tislimeeen li 3mre thanks.

*phoooph:
exactly!!
i always saay having friends and even best friends is easy.
but a true friend, ur lucky if u ever get one. just one! some ppl never find that true friend in the first place.
so for that im thankful and happy.
:**
-big huuuuuuuuuug-

Reem said...

heeeeeeeeey!!!
missed u sooo much!!
anyways, i went through smth very similar.. it hurts so much.. u know what? u can just call, perhaps it'll make u feel a little better..
judgment sucks!! big time.. i hate it.. it wrecks relationships.. one should accept others for what they r.. not for what we want them to become...
time, life, events.. things we go through change us.. being involuntarily apart is very awful.. God help u :(
"difference" is my key term :D that's why i loooove Nietzsche ;p

looooooved reading it! again u dazzle me babe girl :D

Go you and Difference! :* mwah!
