⚠️ Warning: Long Silly (and probably nonsense) Love Story. DON'T READ IT. Keep on scrolling to another post. I just need to drain this somewhere ⚠️ (😂) What is the craziest, silly thing you've ever done for someone you had a crush on? This morning I had the best of surprises when I was at the store. I met a friend from college, it has been almost four years since I last saw him in person (I remember it was November 21st 2017, Student's Day). I mean, I've always kept contact with him through social media, but seeing him in person it felt so special. That "Billy" style of putting his cap, that hesitant way of walking... I knew it was him despite the mask. We had a little chat, catching up. You know, usual stuff. Since that moment I've been having flashbacks. From the very first time we met to the moment he moved to another city; the moment when the professor made a question and that attractive voice answered from behind me and made me turn around to see the handsome pale face of a guy sitting cross legged on his desk, leaning a pencil on his temple... Then, the day we went to formalize our enrollment at the main campus, since I was the only one who barely knew where to go, he asked me to drive him to the office in the most random and funny way: He took my hand and started running; we both, almost in our 20's, running around the university and laughing for no apparently reason as if we were 10 yo... That was on first semester. The next scene I remember is walking with him and some other friends to the Mall, to buy my "Death Note" collar in a new geek store. It was the final day of our second semester and I wanted to celebrate for having approved a hard subject (well, hard for me at least). But I think the most special time that I spend with him was during our fourth semester, right before he moved out to continue the other half of the career. He told me he was trying to write a manga and asked me to help him with the story and the characters. I thought it would be fun, so I said yes. Next thing I know is that we were meeting EVERY SINGLE DAY between classes; to study and to work on that project. And that was totally ok for me. And I especially must to say he taught me almost everything about geometry I know today. But the day came: He finished all subjects and had to go then, along with most of my other friends and classmates. I couldn't go yet 'cause I had three subjects to finish here. We kept in touch through Twitter, we used to chat every day after college and he came to visit from time to time. Until gradually, we stopped talking so frequently. Who knows, maybe we had too much homework... I don't even remember how it happened. We met again the following year. But of course, it wasn't the same anymore. We are still good friends, we joke, share memes... Actually, despite whatever I could have felt at that time, the truth is that nothing really romantic ever happened between us. ̶(̶Y̶e̶a̶h̶,̶ b̶o̶y̶s̶.̶ G̶i̶r̶l̶s̶ c̶a̶n̶ a̶l̶s̶o̶ e̶n̶d̶ u̶p̶ i̶n̶ t̶h̶e̶ "F̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶z̶o̶n̶e̶")̶ I mean, we still have that affection for each other, and that is just sweet and good for me now. I'm only writing this to put my mind together. It's amazing all things you can realize when you write and then read what your mind (and sometimes your heart) is saying to you.
