Best Friends
Driving in the fast lane she chokes back a whimper and sheds a
silent tear. Sunroof open, the wind violently rushing through her
hair. Not caring how she is looking at the moment, only knowing
how her heart is feeling. It is heavy and sad. Her best friend is
leaving and she will miss him. Sitting next to her, he slips in
one of their favorite jazz cds into the player. Hoping this will
help to sooth her troubled heart. He smiles and reassures her
they will talk on the phone and never be too busy or far away to
come when each are needed. She knows he will always be there..and
she loves him with a deep and lasting passion.

Arriving at the airport, they hold hands as they walk to the
boarding area. Not leaving much time for chatting, it seems
better as not to think about his leaving. They embrace as his
flight is called and he holds her as if NEVER to let her go. She
shutters as she tries to hold back the flood of tears and looks
into his eyes. He is crying..crying with a hot sadden flow of
water. He loves this vision of beauty and can not hold in his
emotions any longer. Seeing this, she lets go with the tears of a
wounded dove. She cradles his face in her small hands looks in
his eyes and tells him how very much she loves him. They both
stand there speechless for a few moments and embrace again, him
telling her she could never love him as much as he loves her.
LAST CALL for his flight...there is no more time for
goodbyes..They peck on the lips and say "talk to you in a
few hours" as if it was any other parting. He walks toward
the departure area and she watches as he strolls out of sight. As
he fades from view..the wall of tears begin to flood her every
being. She shall miss him more then her own self. For he is part
of her, the other half of her heart.
Watching out the window as the plane taxies away..she holds her
breath as it lifts up and soars out of view....Not wanting to
believe he is gone..she lingers there a while as if waiting for
him to return.
A million thoughts run through her mind..Of their first
meeting..all the silly times they had together..the tears of lost
loves they shed between them..and the day they realized how much
they really loved each other. Theirs started out as best friends
and went on to be a true love affair. She knew he would not be
gone forever and smiled as she walked back to the car. Sliding
into the seat..sitting next to her was a small package. Wrapped
in beautiful paper with a single red rose next to it. A small
card with his handwriting..telling her he loved her with every
breath in him and they were soul mates to be forever joined. He
also said for her to take the heart and key enclosed and wear
them as she owned his, and held the only key....
Opening the delicate package, she draws out a magnificent anklet
and on it were the golden heart and key. She clutched it close to
her heart and kissed it. She remembered what he had told her
earlier that day..that she had a great pair of legs and needed
something to show them off. She proudly encircled her ankle with
the string of gold and whispered a thank you...
Driving home, the hurt didn't seem quite as deep, for she knew he
loved her and she would be talking to him in a few hours. The
hardest part was not being able to physically touch him each time
she thought of him or needed him. Stopping along the way she did
some shopping and instinctively bought all his favorites as if he
was there with her.
Arriving home, as she opens the door and the phone is
ringing...Him.
