We Knew But Didn’t Know

Occasionally people come into our lives, people we knew but didn’t know. We knew them from our early years before life sent us in different directions. Years would pass before we met again with this person we knew but didn’t know. The passing years had changed us both, wiser but strangers no less. In the exchanges that follows a friendship grows. A friendship that was never there before with this person we knew but didn’t know. Everything happens for a reason and the reason is not for us to know. In meeting it changes us, ignites a flame within, a flame of caring given a chance should have been. Now in maturity we get to know that person we knew but didn’t know. What the future holds is as uncertain as tomorrow, but we walk towards it with this friend, a person we knew but didn’t know. 27 March 2009
