I'm glad I documented my search for Eric and how much he means to me.
Basically, I hurt him and left. I know the pain and sadness from it because it happened to me.
I too was abandoned by someone who meant the world to me; no strings attached.
When I e-mailed Eric, I told him that even if he chooses not to reply to me, I just want him to know that I care about his well-being and that I'm sorry. This morning, it was as if I gazed into a mirror and was placed in his shoes. I, too, received an e-mail from an old friend.. A friend so important to me, I realized how lonely my life has been without him as a friend. I had come to senses that there was actually a gap in my life, I was a fool to think I did not need it replaced. His words were like a song, a song we sung together; long ago.
I will not share all the contents of the e-mail because most of it should be private, but I will show this one part:
"I don’t expect you to reply to this. But please do… you have been in my thoughts and I miss talking to you. I was going through some old files and there was a video, the sound was vent conversation… you, X, and Y. It made me smile to hear you laugh again. In case you read this and don’t reply… I wish you the best. I hope you are healthy and happy. Take care of yourself."
Immediately, as if from a movie, my heart stopped and my eyes watered. It never felt so great to re-unite with a good friend. A friend.. Not my boy-friend, someone beside me through thick and thin. I'm waiting for a reply from my friend, a chance to catch up on lost time.
This whole post - I want to conclude to one thing. Karma.
