An old acquaintance crossed my path some months ago. In a way, we reconnected as "friends". Even went as far as to become friends on social media. But, the joy was somewhat short lived. My friend is gone. Don't know where or for how long. I've been worried since we crossed paths again. As much as I want to truly reconnect and have a real friendship, the opportunity seems to have passed. As much as I feel that maybe I should just let go, I don't want to give up on him just yet. Maybe it's best to give him his space and the opportunity to take the lead. Here's to hoping for the best (we will be true friends) and preparing to expect the worst (it was not meant to be).
