We were supposed to be best friends forever, but life has a way of throwing curveballs at you. The time we spent together was something I knew that I would cherish forever. Forever. A word I thought meant a lifetime as a child, though now I know it means something different. I was glad to find him again so we could have one more lifetime together. I kept my secret as long as I could because I wanted him to remember me as I was, not as what I had become. Best friends forever or until the road ends?
