Hey :D
I know I'm on my temporary exile from this forum =P But the wonderful person I'm referring to told me I should go check out what people had to say about my previous post : The Small Message.
I was stunned guys.
Seriously, I didn't expect any of you to reply, let alone be so encouraging. Thank you, so much. :)
I'm going to write now about a person who's made such an impact on me. I don't know how many of you can relate to this, it's basically about our friendship. :)
A : This one's for you.
" You are a social worker? You look like a druggie!" That is the first thing I told you when I met you for the first time. I was staring at you like you were nuts (YOU HAD SIX TATTOOS! Don't blame me!) and you gave me a pitiful look. I am a cynic. I've not had the hardest life but in my fifteen years I've seen a lot of things I can't digest. That's part of the reason I got into social service. To understand that not most people are as fortunate as I am. And all you could say after that was, "Are you a Virgo? You seem like one. You're so loud and opinionated."
We have a weird, twisted friendship, you know? When we met for the first time we did everything from screaming at each other, playing in the beach, going to a slum and banging my Mom's car into a lamp-post. :) You're in college, I'm in school. So my Ma let you drive. Biggest mistake of her life. :|
We became "semi-friends" in a crucial time of my life. My family was going through a tough financial crisis. I was all alone at home and I was beginning to crack. I spent all my time at school or with social work, just to get my mind off the situation at home. One day, I was so upset I sat at my room and broke down. It was hard.. as a fifteen year old it was becoming harder by the day, with no one to talk to. All of a sudden as I was in my room, my cell-phone rang and I found to my suprise, that you were on the other line. You wanted to know at which shelter I volunteered but you stopped talking once you heard my voice. Ahh, I still cringe at the memory. I rarely ever cry and when I do, I know I'm a wreck. You asked me what was wrong and all I told you was that I was having a hard time at home and felt rather alone. You hung up the call. Needless to say, I didn't expect you to care a damn about my problems. I wiped away my tears and began doing housework. It was 7:30pm then. At 8:17, the bell rang.

And there you were. Till today, I don't know what propelled you to search for my address in a directory and land up at my house. You pulled me into a giant hug and made Maggi for me and waited till I slept and then you left. I can never thank you enough for that.
You come home when I'm sick and make me soup, you help me with my Economics homework, you volunteer with me wherever I go, You run to my house from whichever corner of the city you're in if I tell you I had a bad day.. I don't know.. I don't know from where you landed up and did so much for me. Just eight months, but I would've been clueless without you. You transformed me. :)
You do a lot of wrong things and I wish I could change that. But here's to all the good things you do :) *Cheers* I want to see you succeed in everything, you truly deserve it. You're the best guy I've ever met. I don't know any other guy who'd eat all my mom's food and play football with my nephew. =) You're one of my most cherished friends. We fight everyday, but heck! You're such a genuine, caring, sweet person and you deserve the best. I hope to see you in the future with many more tattoos, a steady girlfriend (atlease for once =P), and a degree in MicroEconomics! =D
A month ago you lost your wallet. As usual, we had a fight about how utterly careless you are and you went off to find, telling me that there's a lot of important stuff in it. You looked for it for a week, I guess and I forgot to ask you about it later. This morning, when I was cleaning my room I found it beneath the bed.
No money, no change, no tickets and no drugs either (I'm still convinced you're a drug addict! :P First impressions last forever) Haha. :)
The first letter I wrote you. That's all it had.
You can put a smile upon my face faster than I can say "Hate you."
Lastly, Thank you, A. So much. I just wanted to remind you that I love you. :) Here's to many years of us being friends and torturing poor unsuspecting souls in this world :D!
