Friendship: Whitey

FRIENDSHIP

By Carlos Zaldívar

Too many kinds of relationships exist in the whole world and everyone has a different meaning for each one. One of them is friendship. How can I define this relationship, as a feeling or as an emotion?

Perhaps I wouldn´t define it well and I´ve been not worried to do it since a long time ago, but now. Because precisely in this moment I´m sharing a lot of things with someone special, very special, whom is my best friend. (I guess so).

The most important principle of any relationship between two persons is being disposable as needed by the other, otherwise the relationship blown down. Another one is to share everything. Yes, like the soul mates share all: physical, emotional, chemical and social; in this friendship is the same. We share each other with sadness and happiness, silence and screams, with sights and sounds, food and drinks, and first of all with the same thoughts and similar tastes for all kinds of themes around us.

I hear every day that almost everyone in our job or family environment, or people we know, have too much friends. We believe they do, but a really best friend to share, I doubt it. And I can tell the same, but a real friend as her maybe an angel.

Between us exist a deal made unexpected like a thunder invading our brain, heart and soul. As the time runs through we are growing and this feeling and emotion too. Why?

Well, even though she doesn´t know the answer, but God. We share the same goals, as living in this great world full of colours, life, us and happiness; and I mean it full because we are building it as we want it to be. In this world, where is difficult to make friends and more difficult to keep them for a long time and over those difficulties is to keep them forever.

I hope and pray to God for the existence of that word: forever. To have a friend this endless time; not to lose her someday neither to separate me from her.

And what happens when you are missing someone? Here comes the light and importance of another feeling: to estrange someone, because she is the simple reason of estranging you too.

I can presume of not estranging or missing someone, but her. How can I explain it? Should I consult to the metaphysician, magician or the wise guy? No. I just go by the same way, generating my destiny. Programming our fates.

And someday I hope to refer her as the long time of sharing with her to many things, and so on.

This friendship, my feelings and emotions are dedicated to Blanca, my best friend who shares with me her life, feelings, emotions, goals and the greatest laughing times. Thanks to her.

But, here comes a small doubt: What is beyond this friendship?
