Love in Separation

“What do you mean?” I ask as I give my full attention to his back. 


“Is it possible for you to be my best friend again? Even after everything that’s happened?” 


I don’t know if it is anymore. I didn’t know that loving him despite not seeing him for 6 years could be possible or that I could still love him this much despite him breaking my heart repeatedly with the breakup and him moving on yet here I am. 


Maybe in some ways, we have been across the boundaries of the impossible. 


Can I just be his best friend again even when my feelings entail something else? 


Walking back to him, I plop next to him and sigh. “I can’t promise I’ll be your best friend again, but I can be your friend. What’s on your mind?” 


He exhaled as he rests his arms on his legs before speaking. “Did you ever like Valerie?”
