CAN I TALK TO YOU, NOT JUST NOW BUT FOREVER?

I have a friend by the name of Mbalenhle Mkhize, who has been my friend since the age of 5.  We went to pre-school together at Sea View Primary School and is still my close friend till this day.  Yes,we might not communicate on a daily and our lives have changed throughout the years which i feel contributes to the way we interact now rather than back in the day.

We have had our fair share of fun and difficult times together and i have loved every single moment of it.  The days when we still use to climb up trees to get a few mangoes lol, then the growing up stages where a person starts developing feelings for boys and gets over the "playing soccer in the park" days.

We have had our share of not communicating at all, then we'd start talking again and things go back to normal.  If there is one friend that i would love to have around me for the rest of my life it is her.  We both understand that there are circumstances that do drift us apart but we accept them and try make it work no matter how severe they may be.

I remember once in primary school, we disagreed about something and decide to have a 'physical' fight.  That turned out to be a very bad idea as we both were bruised and resorted in sorted issues out verbally.  That turned out to be the wisest decision we ever made as there have been a number of misunderstandings in our lifetime. 

When she was expecting her baby and was in labour, i remember that insane drive i had with her on her way to hospital.  i spent a few hours with her, checking up if she's is doing alright but eventually had to go.  When she did have her baby i got the phonecall and was the happiest friend in the world.

An ocean of memories are left  behind us and we both know that wherever life takes us and throws at us we are still partners for life and that will never change.
