The Comeback.

They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder. I've seen the "they" in question over here but I'm pretty sure they exist.
Let me tell you a story here. A story which would further explain the title of this blog episode.
A year back, a good friend of mine left. The reasons for leaving were further studies. It was about to be a different feeling. This person was a support system for me. A confidante of sorts.
But then in a jiffy with a swift goodbye she was gone. Gone for a year. Little was I aware of the fact that the only year she wasn't going to be in the country was going to be the most challenging one for me yet.
There were the highest of highs and the lowest of lows which she missed.
But it was fine. I accepted it. My friend had a life of her own which she had to live.
Same was the case for me.
But as life was taking a rollercoaster ride for me there were many things that she was unaware of. And I guess that was the best thing to do. This situation applied vice versa.
Distance is a funny thing. You feel like sharing everything that's happened to you in a day with a person and yet you can't.
It's either not possible or you choose to make it not possible.
But distance, my friend, also makes the bond grow stronger.
And this bond has grown. Stronger and stronger.
We may not talk every day or even go weeks without any idea of what's going on in each other's lives but yet we know one thing.
We're there for each other. Maybe not in soul but in spirit.
And that is something that keeps you going. At least it kept me going. And I'm still here. Surviving. Just about.
But on the bright side, she's coming back. Soon.
We would meet.
Soon.
We would talk face to face.
Soon.
We would laugh together.
Soon.
And you know why that's possible?
Distance.
From thousands of miles to a few of them.
Welcome back, old friend.
You've been missed.
