we were always stealing odd things like that; street signs, glow in the dark "slow" kids, lawn ornaments. if it was there- we took it. this one was literally just lying in the middle of the street. a yellow diamond, cautioning drivers of the upcoming sharp turn. calling our names, begging to be taken in. cars had driven over it and it was broken in half. the mission began.
we waited til like 11pm, parked nearby, and waited til the coast was clear. i stayed behind the wheel, ready to speed away if necessary. she got out of the car, ran to the sign, picked up both halves and threw them in my trunk. she climbed back in the car and i drove away. mission accomplished. this time it was so convenient, we both got to take a half home, so there was no awkward "so uhh, what do we do with it now" kind of moment.
i feel like it perfectly described us in our entirety. our friendship, our bond, all of it. both pieces were so similar, halves of each other, but yet they we different enough that they could still be told apart without too much thought. when necessary, they were able to be worked together and fit perfectly to make a functioning sign. it was like our best friend token. instead of cute half heart necklaces or matching bracelets, we had an old, beat up, stolen street sign. it wasnt about the pretty appearance, the shine and complimenting colors to make it look nice when it was put together. it went through wear and tear, but still was able to work so greatly when brought together, it was real.
we always got each other, we understood without words. it was like we had the same mind, the same heart, the same logic. we were able to tune into each other so perfectly, youd think we were twins. we werent related in any way at all actually, i only met her my freshman year of high school. we are our own people, however. our personalities are different enough to make us individuals, definitely. but our mind and hearts are similar enough to put us on the exact same wavelength. just recently on one of our usual cruises, we learned that we had been basing our friendship on the exact same 30 seconds. the two of us had a wicked intense but quite short conversation four years ago, as new friends, and in that very moment we both knew there was something great about our friendship, something epicly unusual. but neither of us knew that it was in that exact moment we had both decided that, until only a few weeks ago. crazy, huh?
i dont know why or how or what, but this friendship was made for something incredible. its not everyday you find something so fitting, so... epic. i couldnt be more greatful for a friendship like this. so laid back and easy. no effort goes into our friendship, yet it works so perfectly.
