10 Years

I’m losing her. We rarely talk. I mean REALLY talk. I don’t even recall when the last time we laughed together was.

He looked lost and sad. He looked like a man who struggled to get back the impossible...and deep inside he knew that.

They were sitting in the pub and drinking beer. That’s what they did every Friday after work for the past 15 years. They’ve been best friends and supported each other in all bumpy times. This was yet another bump one of them was trying to overcome...

Nothing is as it has been before... I don’t even remember when we went out together. Yesterday I found the printed e mail messages he wrote in the first month we started dating. 10 years have passed since then and unfortunately I have the feeling that much more than years have passed...

Her eyes were becoming wet and she was hugging her favorite pillow. Her best friend was far away and she used Skype to pour out her problems, thoughts and worries in a foreign language that, these days, did not feel foreign to her at all...

Do you know what the most important thing I learned from you was?

She had no idea, so she waited for the answer.

She smiled through tears. Even back then she was very romantic. And no matter how things turned out she still is... though with less enthusiasm these days.

Men paid and left the pub. It was fresh air outside and the light rain was gifting its small drops. In short it was his favorite weather. He decided to walk and they parted next to his friend’s car.

He was walking, breathing the fresh air and in his thoughts, he went back to 10 years ago. He recalled them kissing under the rain in his old red car, he recalled when and where she kissed him for the first time and he recalled her look when he told her they had to part. Then he thought of how many things he would have missed if back then, she would have not protested and if they
