Curtain Call

It has been awhile since I last wrote something in English.

But since there's more and more English speakers reading the blog, it makes perfect sense to write sometimes in English.

I will always write in Portuguese beacuse it's my native language, but maybe sometimes I will make the effort to surprise you all.

For the other times, there's always Google Translator....
Now, off to the "real" post:

It has passed what? Nine, ten, eleven years? I couldn't keep couting when we drifted so abruptly, so far away. We still see each other but only by distance.
We made the easiest choice and don't acknowledge the existence off eachother.

We're still neighbours but on our minds, we are somehow thousands and thousands of miles away from eachother. And the funny part is that we didn't have anything between us. We were always friends and although I felt in love for you when we were just children, playing hide and seek and catch, I never got the chance to turn our friendship to something more.

I still remember when you first moved to our neighbourhood: we were probably seven or eight at the time and you moved to the apartment across mine. We saw eachother on that first day and although you'd appeared shy, you sae me peaking from my window, and you just smiled and waved.

We start playing together after classes and speak from window to window (in that time, we didn't had phones or computers). We were just simple innocent children playing together. And to this day, you'll always be my first crush and the only one I regret never had tried (harder) to be with you.

I felt in love with you and has the time passed and although some of our friends liked and wanted to break our bond, you still spoke to me and I couldn't resist anymore to you. I told you about my feelings but you didn't want anything besides friendship.

But we were still friends and I kept hope froam an opportunity in a near future. Years passed and we both hit puberty and starting to feel changes in our bodies and mind. And suddendly, you were looking and feeling different towards me. I knwe it. I knew that it was my chance of being happy with you and to fell even in more in love with you.

We started hanging out more and more at school and went back home lone, each day closer and closer to eachother... Until one day... One day, destiny stroke and we broke that bond forever. I was taking out the trash and your bedroom window was open. Naturally I looked up to it and saw you, wrapped in a bathing towel.

You saw ne and in a shock, your towl dropped. I beg for forgiveness but you shut that window and never spoke to me. And I was a little boy and that was painfull for me. My first love taken away by a mistake that I didn't committed (at least voluntary).

Next time we spoke, you were already taken and happy, very happy. I felt happiness for you and although I was a little sad, I knew that it was the end. It was the closure for a very long chapter of my life.

Someday maybe I'll start talking to you again but probably not. You're happy and I...
Well, years passed, too many of them passed and we're going probably our seperate ways, to find and have hapiness.

But I will always remember you with love and friendship that we had for eachother.

Thanks for appeared in my life and make it better, to help me become the man I am today and for turning my childhood awesome.

If I could do it all again, I would do it all the same way in a heatbeat. What we had was fantastic and now...it's time to move on.
Thanks for the memories and for turning my life better.
Thanks for everything, good old friend.
Be happy and you may not know but you can always count on me.
