New Old Friends

Nota prévia: Perdoem-me mas este post vai ser escrito em inglês, para que a minha amiga J.H. o possa ler.

It's funny how you can find so many affinities with someone on a short period. And it's one of those thinks that makes that friend really so special to you.

I met my friend J.H. on a single night in Cologne and felt immediatelly we had many many things to talk about. I can't even recall how the conversation started, but all I know is in a short while it seemed like we had known each other for a long time. What is truly amazing is when you realize we come from two such different realities.

We've been talking since - Thank You internet - and I still always feel like we've known each other for a long, long time. And we always still have so much to talk about.

How do I explain that? I'm sure every one has experienced something like that and however I think about it all I find is... there is no rational explanation. It's just there, period!

I have a few portuguese friends like that, some of them with whom I can communicate with a glance. I have no doubt that if it were not for the distance she would be one of those. At least in my heart she is beside them. And as I already wrote on a previous post, even when these friends are far they're still always there.

ps: Yes J., talking to you really lightens up my day (but don't start druling on the keyboard, please)
