I would like to talk about reconnecting with an old friend. This person is my childhood friend. She is a very kind person. She is one year older than me, so she always tried to help me with my studies. And also our tastes match perfectly. So we always talked about music, books or films that we loved. We lived in the same areas with our buildings facing each other. We have known each other for 15 years and moving to different places caused us to lose touch. When this happened, we have been friends for 10 years. But when this happened, I felt blue because we wouldn’t be able to be on each other’s side anymore. It took a long time to get used to her absence. However, many years later, we run each other on the street. When I saw her, at first I was afraid it was her, but as I got closer, I realized it was her. When it comes to how I felt about it, I can say that I was just shocked and I was always alone. We started to chat and soon we realized that we had a lot to discuss. We decided to sit down at a cafe and talk about our lives.
