she....

....yes..she..

i have known her for quite a while..well..long enough perhaps. i must admit i have yet to see another one like her. beneath the face of what i call natural beauty, lies her unbeatable inner strength. as i try to maneuver my way through in life, am glad i set my eyes upon her. one who thinks alike, feels alike and on top of it all, knows what reality has to offer. her honest and sensible replies, with delicate concern are a few things that fascinate me. i can safely say from what i recall that she's been through times which i cannot imagine myself in. they toughened her up, she told me once and yes i agree. she has. i clearly remember a phone call she made once..to me..yes. i did not expect the call as i thought i would have been the last one on her list but my..what a surprise. she was hurt. emotionally. deep inside me, i knew i would be of least help because i was not used to consoling beings, telling them not to cry when they wanted to so badly. her faint cries over the receiver scared me at first then came her story. the involvement of the opposite gender was not new to me but her mixed feelings were. initially, i was confused, then i placed myself in her shoes, and gave it a thought. i am not to award credit to myself for comforting her as i vaguely remember doing so. but i hoped she appreciated the presence of a girl on the other end of the line as much as i did being there for her.



a year had passed. people changed. perspectives changed. priorities shifted. we drifted. apart. then came times when we met not because we planned to but more of what i wish to call...we were meant to. every time i heard her speak, advise, comfort and cheer, the assurance in me grew exponentially. she was the kind of friend i wanted. we were not exactly close but when ever we spoke, a feeling of ease dawned upon me.



recently, i have been in touch with her. pretty well. she has done me favors which i simply appreciate and i wish to give her something. i already have it. as much as i wanted it for myself, i thought she deserved it.
a strong feeling suggests that i will not lose this friend. unlike the many which i already have. do i regret? wish i knew. even the ascending strength of blue reflects the trust i place upon her.
