Like a line from my favorite sonnet, it happened, without me knowing how, when, or from where. I just found myself literally rolling on the floor and laughing until I cried, with one of the few who had a really big impact on my life.
Like sisters, it had been a love-hate relationship. On the first few years, it was more of the love part. Then came the fourth year. It had been so full of hate, you'd never believe we were once friends. Like any epic novel, that which fueled the feud had to hit close to home. Being the hopeless romantics that we are, of course, it had to be the heart.
Out of nowhere, this seemingly almost perfect guy showed up. And when I say "almost perfect", I mean "daily devotions, good morning messages, know how to play lots of instruments, sing me to sleep" perfect. It could have been a fairy tale, but no. It had to be epic, with lots of adventure, mystery, action, romance, suspense, drama, thriller and comedy. She loved him. I loved him. He "loved" both of us. It was crazy. Little by little, we drifted apart without us knowing it. From texting by the minute, there we were, with barely nodding as we pass by each other in the hallway.
Us, humans, act on our animal instincts. And act on our animal instincts, we did. From internet backbiting to upfront mean remarks, name it, we've done it. Here we've proven that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The fact that we've reached that point is quite ironic, if you ask me; given that we've once promised each other to let no man come between us.
But on second thought, we've been faithful to that promise. So far, no man has come between us. "But what about that almost perfect guy?", you may ask. Well, I consider him in no way deserving to be called a MAN. No man would ever play with women's hearts. No man would ever let himself be the reason of a beautiful friendship's breakup. No man would ever use suicide as a blackmail for a woman to stay. And most importantly, no man would ever lie about who he really is.
It has been a ginormous, topsy turvy, crazier-than-Six Flags' X2, roller coaster ride for us. And fortunately, like some lines from a song, we're drifting safely back to shore and we've finally learned to love each other more. We're back to where we've started and we're ready for one heck of a roller coaster ride. This time, however, we're prepared to face anything with our chins up and hands together. Bring it on, life, 'cause we're alpha females, and we'll never let anything tear us apart again.
They say a thin line exists between love and hate. We've been through, over, under and every possible maneuver that could be done with that line. Heck, we could go back and forth that line for all we care. For what it's worth, isn't it that the more you hate, the more you love? Yeah, we'd been into fights and cold wars. But it didn't kill either one of us, it just made us much stronger. Much stronger, and definitely together. Get ready world, the super twins are back, for forever and a day.
As for the almost perfect guy? Three letters: NVM.
