The Text Message (A piece of my life)

Few years ago, I thought that I had found a really good friend. It was very special for me since the 'good friend' was a boy. We came from different elementary school, but a rare chance had given us the opportunity to know each other. 

After some meetings, we became closer friends than before. When we couldn't meet, we would call each other. 

However, life, being life, was not that easy and beautiful. We had to bid farewell, and because of that, he gave me a memento. Until now, I still keep that gift. 

Two years later, a blow of fresh air emerged. It turned out that we would attend the same junior high school. I was so excited about that. 

And then, the long awaited day finally came. We finally met each other and said a mere 'hi'.

Days that came after that were awkward. No small talk on the phone anymore, no more 'hi' at school. But then, a year after that he sent me a text message. Up to now, I feel that the text message is heart-warming even-though I don't know whether he just forwarded it to me or made it by himself. However, I'm not naive to think that he sent that text message to me only. There's no way he would do that. 

By the way, here is the content of the text message : 

We might be best friends one year,

pretty good friends the next year,

don't talk that often the next year,

and don't want to talk at all the year after that.

So, I just want to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life,

you are still my friend and you make a difference in my life.

I look up to you and respect you.

Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk to them,

or how close you are to them.

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them and tell new friends you never will.

I like you because of who you are to me, that is  a true friend :)

Now, I have realized that friendship is not determined by what you are doing, but by the sincere feeling of friendship deep inside your heart :)
