15 again

I felt butterflies again, a feeling I haven't felt in such a long time :) 
They were sweet ones, but at the worst timing and the worst place :(
Worst timing: I am leaving in two weeks for a long time. 
Worst place: in Stei, the city I will never live for more than a total of a couple of months a year.
The feeling was so sweet because it was for my best Best BEST friend that I grew up with. We had the same classes from 1st to 8th grade. We lived in the same neighborhood. We used to do everything together, and my fondest memories are those of him, of us. I even broke my arm while running with him. 
Life plays many tricks on me, on every one. I moved to Oradea, and after that to Arad. We didn't keep in touch at all. I saw him once for a minute in 10th grade when I came to visit, and we were still best friends. After that, nothing. Until today.
My mom and I were out with our bikes, doing the shopping. We were ready to return home, when she saw Sorin (that's his name). I did not recognize him! He looks amazing! Only when he hugged me, I realized, and that's when butterflies "invaded" me. I was on clud no.9! I wanted to hear everything about him, but it was not the time or place. So we just smiled and talked really fast, and took off, each on his way. All the way home, and even now, I kept thinking of him, of how we used to spend time together, talk about every dream and fear, sharing every idea, no matter how crazy it sounded. Oh, how I missed him, and how I missed having someone like that in my life. It makes me sad to think that I have to leave, but until I do, I hope that I can see him again, even if just for a second, and feel that peace and joy, and butterflies :)
We all need our bestest friends in our lives, even if they are far away. I believe we should try to keep in touch because no one can be happy alone. I admit I didn't try to keep in touch. I did not appreciate him enough back then, and how deeply I regret it to this day!
Embrace the butterflies, embrace friendship, and cherish those who are the closest to you! And then you will taste happiness.
