Who Needs Enemies

"You're my best friend." he said.

And with that they had created something beautiful.



Many suns set, and then rose once more. They were older.

"You're right, we haven't talked in a while, let's do that soon." he stated.



The earth had made three revolutions now.

"I miss you, too." he sighed.



The gap only expanded exponentially.

"You're married, no kidding?!" he asked.



Half a century.

"Terminal." he explained.



They were brought together in the end.

"You're my best friend." he was finally able to say.


That beautiful something never died.

I liked your use of time transitions, and the emotions that were laced in in the dialogue, short that it was, it did not take away from the value.

You capture the element of friendship through passing time very well. I don't know about everyone else, but I have had friends like this, and you did a wonderful job expressing the aspect of it.

Great job. ^^

Life happens while leading us in and out of these friendships. Sometimes lost for long periods, yet the bond is as strong decades later when not having seen each other for as long. I have come to believe true friendship never ends.
I like this it is a gift.

Perceptive writing.
As long as "that beautiful something never dies",
I guess the other bits can be navigated.

Ahh, so very nice, i truly loved this and how you lose contact and in the end you're in many ways reunited.. Nicely done.
