Platonic Friendship

Platonic friendship between a girl & a boy. Is there such a thing?

.....A picture of me & my high school best friends M(girl) and J(boy) sent me back to a time when I thought my world crashed. 10 years ago we were inseparable. We would see each other everyday after school. Since J and I were neighbors, we became much closer. He would call me everyday and we would talk on the phone for hours! Although him and M were also close, they did not talk as much. So naturally, even if I denied it for fear of ruining our beautiful friendship, we fell for each other. That was a mistake if you ask me.

We never became an item because I wanted to wait. I was 15 at that time, and since he was 2 years older than me, waiting was not in his agenda. He eventually got tired and started going out with others who drank and partied all night. Since I did not approve, he stopped calling me. He started going out with M more.

Then to make the long story short, they fell in love. Predictable.

After all that, I never hung out with them anymore. I lost my 2 best friends. And for what? Puppy-love? Was it worth it?

I don't know. I've seen too many movies with this kind of plot. You may be wondering if they ended up together?

They did not. If I could go back in time, I would have done things differently and maybe I would not have lost my friends. They were a big part of my life then and now we don't even get to talk. They were not in my wedding and in the birth of my son. We send occasional text messages during birthdays and holidays though..at least we've not totally burned our bridges.

Oh well. That's life.

Ciao!
