Together Again.

reuniting.
sounds simple when you hear it.
it's just like a quick fix.
everything that has happened suddenly washes away.
and you are living only in the moment of now.
the moment with the person you are holding.

one of my greatest friends came back to visit this past weekend.
i couldn't tell you how pleased i was.
i was literally jumping off the walls.
it was like when i stepped in the car, things were back to normal.
music blasted, and all i could feel was excitement,
about the fun we'd have together.

and in turn, during her stay,
i had noticed a certain bravery shining around her.
a bravery that i did not possess.
yet i wanted to.
so, as i saw her leave my room and walk down my hall, i decided.
to be brave.

and i was.
i pushed myself, and in turn,
caught up with an old friend.
again, reuniting seems so simple.
but it really isn't.

i didn't really know what to say.
or what to talk about.
finally, words were exchanged;
after a month of silence.
put in perspective,
the term reuniting feels like it is placed right where you left off.
with talking, it felt like things were back in order.
bringing up old habits.
combined with new conversations.

bravery hit me twice when i caught up with yet another person.
it had been a long time.
it was weird, seeing him on my computer screen.
trying to avoid certain topics,
knowing they'd bring up gray areas.

i see whom i've come across in the past few days,
and i notice something.
friends really are hard to keep track of.
especially when they aren't in close proximity to you.
yet, even so...
it all depends on the friendship, really.
who is worth making effort for.
and who is easily slipped out of your brain.

all i know is that i'm glad that i can reunite.
i'm happy that i can catch up.
i like hearing stories.
and i hope with a certain few,
there will be more stories to come.

"don't give up."

with love and light,
