I have recently just hung out with one of my ex/ex best friends. The whole night was so incredibly awesome, I completely forgot how much I loved him as a friend. Even after like 3 years of not being as close as we were we still can read each other disgustingly well. We were catching up walking around out neighborhood; he was telling me about his newest music adventures and crazy ex girlfriend, and i was telling him all about my life and this crossroad that I’m at. Like always when I talk about life with him, I just started crying. He hushed me and made me just sit in silence while he hugged me. This was the absolute best thing that i could have possibly asked for, I’m afraid of silence and in need of affection. My family isn’t huggy or openly loving and a lot of my friendships don’t consist of open expression of love and feelings, so I feel completely starved for affection, haha. He really knows how to stop my neurotic over-thinking and just let me feel loved and enjoy the moment. If any normal person would look onto the situation you would think we are romantically involved with all of our hugging and hand holding; but its just we love each other and not in a romantic sense, even though we dated, but just loving the other person for who they are. I don’t think anybody can put a label on our relationship and for some reason that makes me so happy.
