Friendz or Fate?

They had a mutual admiration for one another.She admired his sense of direction and the way he could make her laugh.He admired her wild & untamed spirit and the way she made him smile.

I suppose they could have made the perfect couple yet neither one wanted to risk moving the friendship into uncharted territory.She thought he was her best friend. There was nothing she had to hold back from his eyes or ears. He came to enjoy her blunt take on the world. Yet somehow, he noted, she has a childlike charm residing in her heart.He wasn't so sure of the relationship's definition. More than acquaintances, yet less than lovers he was sure of that.He noticed that she had come to enjoy his playful side, like a class clown in her life.

When the time eventually came to move forward as it so inevitably must, she shed a single tear as she watched him walk out of her life. She knew she had done the right thing to set him free to follow that sense of direction she admired so, yet she hoped that direction would end up with thier entwining paths.

A common fate or destiny as it were.She held him the dearest she has ever known and doubts if anyone will come that close to knowing who she really is ever again. /// by nelle, a friend.
