Our friendship has gone through difficult times, but faith in the mutual affection we feel has won them over. Now I understand that real relationships can falter due to circumstances, but in the end nothing and no one can destroy them. There may be pauses, but then the melody continues, louder, more energetic, more enthusiastic.
When we didn't even imagine how strong we could be together, all doubts were dispelled and we erased the shadows that wanted us to fall. And in this way, when the storm subsided, we took hands and hugged each other: our fears became our strengths.
The value of friendship
What I'm telling you is that our strength is the wonderful value of our friendship: that feeling of happiness and pride that we feel in cultivating an eternal, pure and sincere relationship. Because yes, there is no other bond as close as the one that goes beyond even kilometers away, that goes beyond childhood, over the years, which allows us to find a family.
We've been through everything and a million things have happened to us. However, the value of friendship is precisely that of sharing experiences and life lessons: it cannot exist without it, but it is strengthened precisely for this reason.
The bonds that are formed honestly must not be broken
I wish with all my heart that the bond with you, which was honestly created, will never break. You and I know better than anyone that it wasn't easy to get out of that tunnel we were in. However, we are still here, grateful to life for keeping us together.
Arguments, anger, misunderstandings, little unimportant lies, with no intention of causing pain or hurting. With the purpose of protecting each other in balance on the fragile thread of life. We are humans and adults, so it is normal to have experienced all of this. The nice thing is that, despite everything, we have learned to move forward, together.
The hardest task as a friend is to offer understanding when we fail to understand.
Do you remember when we faced that tragic news? We did it together, holding hands. We've been through the storm and felt stronger just by being close.
You taught me what it means to forgive, to overcome the mistakes of those who did not want to hurt, even if they did. You have given me the value that affection is stronger than reproach, empathy is stronger than pride, and separation in friendship is an illusion.
Having a friend also means being one
I'm sure what we have is possible because it's true and we haven't lost faith. I also know that one of the reasons why it is possible is also because we are friends of ourselves, in fact you cannot be friends with someone without being one before yourself.
Having a friend also means being one, with oneself and with each other. This is the secret of friendship: in other words, being friends with oneself, without forgetting to be friends with others and that others are friends with us. Reciprocity in our relationship is special.
So you and I don't need to thank each other, just love each other and be able to show us. You already know, but I'll tell you again: there is no storm, circumstance or conflict that can overwhelm us if we believe in our friendship.
