Love in simple things

Love is soft

"Jump on this bed"

"Why?"

"I really like jumping on the bed. I would love if you jump on it too. With me"

"Haha, Sure"

"By the way, I love your house."

"Thank you. Sorry, I couldn't bring you earlier."

"It's fine. I love it now"

"This is the corner of my craft."

"Your first love"

"You remembered."

"Yes, I do. I remember everything about this room."

"We have been doing a lot of long distance. Haven't we?"

"No cap."

"Now that you are in my room, I don't know how to react"

"You are doing good. We are good."

"I guess you had a long flight."

"I did."

"Aren't you tired of jumping in the bed with me?"

"Do you love this?"

"Of course, yes"

"Why do you love it?"

"Because it makes my brain go Weeeeeeeee"

"It makes my brain go Weeeeeeeee, as well"

"Haha"

"I love it because you love it."

"I have the day planned."

"Forgot about my jetlag. Ugh?"

"I know. The plan is just laying in this bed watching Harry potter movies till one of us falls asleep"

"I bet, you will fall asleep before me."

"Exactly"

"Hey, did you bring me chocolates?"

"Duh."

"I love that" 

"Can we stop jumping?"

"Sure"

"Oh my god. I love this day already"

That is my best friend right there. I love her. She traveled across the globe to see me for a week. We are long-distance friends. We met online. I don't know why we matched like that on Omegle. I am glad we did. She is going to be here for a whole week. I love my energy when I am with her. 

"I brought you a special gift as well."

"What is it?"

"It is in my bag. Hidden somewhere. Find it"

I searched her bag for about half an hour to find a small shell. She was back from the beach when she first texted me. I love that she saved the shell stuck in her socks. I took that out and saved it in my box. She grabbed it from me. 

"I can't give it to you. I just brought that here to show you."

"That's bad. How am I supposed to remember you?"

"So, you need a shell to remember me."

"Not like that. But I don't have a memory like that. When you return to your country, I might want something to remember you by"

"We could make memories in your country and my visit and save it"

"Lovely"

"I wrote a letter for you."

"Here, read it"

"Sure"

The letter read "To my beautiful best friend..." I saw the smile on her face. The soft smile made me feel peace in a very chaotic survival. Don't ask me what I am surviving. I am healing with that soft smile. Love is soft. My best friend is here.
