~a promise~

They met, became best friends soon to fall in love with each other.  While one was all the other could wish for, the other one was a confused soul who just lived life as it comes.

Time flew by, they made their own memories, there came a day when they had to part their ways for their future.

They thought they would survive the distance. Little did they know they wouldn’t and with distance came the insecurities; once best friends became strangers, later to be just friends!

They moved on with their respective lives and the kind of understanding that two people lacked while being in a relationship, they found it after a decade.

More than anything, they missed being each other’s best friends who could share everything without thinking much.

It’s hard to live with regrets, memories still fresh somewhere in their heart, with no option to be what they were once.

Only if one had the courage to reach out to other and only if the other had let go of the pride, they would have been together now.

Name it as destiny or fate. Their path is different now and people around them see them happy in their respective lives.

Only they know the turmoil they have in their heart somewhere hidden in their masks, not being able to share with anyone.

They finally did let go of their pride and took the courage to share with each other how they had once wanted to be back in each other’s life, but how they never took the chance of asking each other.

They knew it’s of no use now. It was too late. However, this confession eased out the pain they had in their heart.

Even though the regret kills them, they now know that they didn’t actually hate each other.

Even if it pains them, they did let go of what had happened between them and promised each other to find their way back to being best friends, slowly.

A promise, they knew they would keep, unlike last time.
