Today I Was.......

.....Sitting on a bench in Central Park, listening to Charlie play the familiar sound of his own Jazz styled opus. A smile crossed my face, as he nodded his head in recognition and waved his fingers at me...As he continued to play, a feeling of peace filled my heart, the warm breeze caressed my face, as my eyes took in the beauty of the grass, the trees, the people.....The "Park." Every single time that I am in New York City, I do this. And it never gets old. In fact, it only gets better. Everytime my experience is new, fresh...Uplifting. The passion and love that I have for this city is undeniable. Every one of my senses come alive, especially here in the park. At this moment I feel positive about my life. I cleared the air with someone that means a lot to me;I got a lot off my chest, I said a lot...Felt a lot. Acknowledged a lot. I hope he feels the same. We can never go "back"... but our friendship can only get better, if we want it too. The foundation that we laid was built on honesty, trust, laughter, sincerity...And that will never break down....It was the walls and layers in between that started to falter, and ultimately fell. Our friendship was effortless, it was our relationship that took the effort. I felt good finally realizing that; as I walked the perimeter of the park. Thinking about and missing "tatopies" ...wondering why I could'nt keep it...I still was able to *smile*
