In the Arms of My Best Friend


Every living soul meets his friends in this world. And among those friends, there is this one person whom you consider as the most special. And we call that "most special friend"... BEST FRIEND.

I have a best friend for almost 5 years. He is always there for me in spite of the distance between us. We seldom see each other. We meet every month, that makes a total of 12 meetings in one year. It's pretty jaw-dropping how we were able to build friendship when we only gather 12 days out of 365 days. Nonetheless, cellphone and internet play a big role to us. These two are our ways to constantly communicate with each other. We talk on the phone from sunset 'til the sun rises.

Hanging out with my best friend is the highlight of every month. Insomnia attacks me the night before the day we meet. It seems like it is always the biggest day of my life. And the moment he comes into view, he never forgets to throw his killer smile at me. That just makes my heart melt! OMG! I feel like running towards him and give him a bear hug. My fave past time with him is plainly going on a road trip with a seemingly non-existing destination. Even the dullest street on earth would turn into a colorful one when the chauffeur is your best friend. Goofing around and munching all day are also on the list.

This person sure is fun-to-be-with, but that is not the sole thing I like about him. He understands me. I could tell him random things about me without being misinterpreted. I could enumerate every stuff I own, from my cheapest accessory to the luxurious gadget, without receiving negative impression from him. If I would do that in front of others, they would certainly think I brag too much. Good listener, he is. He listens to all things I share, whether it be small talk or rant or even baloney ones. He knows every single thing about me. A good listener who keeps secret, a good listener who gives significant advice.

I feel comfortable around him. I could make poker face and he would say I am still beautiful. I could spill chocolate shake on my pink shirt and get stain and he would say I am clumsy yet cute. I could make my feet stinky and he would laugh at me but would not be disgusted.

Patience and composure - he always has these two in his pocket. We love cracking jokes and jestingly insulting each other. He doesn't get irritated easily and barely loses his temper. But when I am caught on the hook, he apologizes and kisses my forehead even if it is my fault. And I appreciate that so much!

My best buddy is my stress reliever. He has the power to convert dreary days to fascinating ones. And no matter how pressured I am, just one touch of his hand, I become cheered.

------------------------------------------------

Presently, these do not exist anymore. Each sentence is on a simple present form. I intentionally created it that way because I want these things to be in existence again. I terribly miss my best friend! Sadly, I just had to end it due to variety of reasons. We may not last the friendship but I still feel lucky that he was once a best friend of mine and contributed several meaningful memories and lessons to my life.
