And that’s all it took. To realize that I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for you. To realize that no matter how much time has massed, and no matter how much each of us have changed, that we could pick up almost exactly where we left off. To realize that you’re just as easy to talk to as you were back then, and that the time always seems to fly when we we’re on the phone with each other. To realize that I hardly know you now, but the extents that I would go to just to get to know who you’ve become while I’ve been away. To realize that all the bitterness I thought I held for you over the past, didn’t actually exist. To realize that I could never actually be mad at you. And to realize just how much I’ve actually missed you and how much fonder my heart has grown for you.
