7 Hours
7 hours.
That's how long Sher and I talked yesterday, including some parts of today.
We spent brunch until lunch together, then went to work, then met up again and had dinner, then coffee.
I wonder why we parted ways 6 years ago. We were so close. We'd wake each other up at the wee hours of the morning because we both had trouble sleeping.
I realize now that Sher was my comfort zone then. He was my go-to person whenever anything goes wrong. We'd talk about my stupid unrequited love and his lack of one until dawn at Countryside, eating barbecues and smelling of charcoal. We'd argue about our favorite films and why I shouldn't watch so and so and why I should watch Wong Kar-wai.
For some reason he lost my number and I lost his and we lost touch and we grew into the people we are now.
It's a good thing. I learned to live outside my comfort zones. I used to be such a sissy. I can honestly say now that I am not.
Now that we're friends again, I am able to share all these things I learned with him and he shared all his life learnings with me.
All this time I thought we outgrew each other. We just grew, that's all.
