The partner

The partner


this is a story that we all take for granted, but imagine your life with out this partner, this partner is special; well for most of us it is but the truth is that this partner is a little bit funny, because he takes our shape, but only in certain days, not always seems to be what it suppose to look like, moreover this partner is free of complexes and strings.
and we take for granted everyday, but today i realize that mine wasn't there in the usual place, i looked and looked but i just couldn't find it. i looked under my bed, on the shower, even on the kitchen, but it wasn't there. then i went out on my yard, and outside i was looking for my partner and still no luck, but as i was looking i saw an old lady that was walking with her dogs, funny the dogs had them as well. i got in the car after i sower myself and determined to find my partner i started driving, and i notice that even such an objet like the car, and we know that the car is dead it also have it, i drove to my usual place and there i saw a lot of people, interestingly even inside of the place where i was those folks had their own, but mine wasn't there.
tired of searching and searching i finally realize that i was destined to be different, but i didn't want to be different, not in that sense, so i went for a long walk around the neighborhood; you know maybe i could be lucky and i could find my partner, in my long walk i was thinking on those days where my partner and i had fun, doing everything together and always looking beside me and my parter was there. then i stopped, mainly because i was tired, but also because i was seeing something that appeared to be my partner, so i walked just a little bit and my partner walked away, but it appeared like my partner was at the same distance, like i wouldn't walk at all.
naturally i was surprised so i tried to talk with my partner. i started by saying "what was wrong between us?" he reply "nothing", "then why you are no more with me?" "i am with you all the time, but it's just that i'm not beside you because we grew up, but i'm always with you, if you think of me i will be with you, as long as you don't forget me i will always be with you.
then after a long talk, i left but i left with the satisfaction in my face that my partner will always be with me even though is not by my side also with a feeling of awesomeness, by knowing that my partner is special, special in a way that she can grow a part and still be with me like the old days. i know she is with me even now while i'm writing the last lines of this chapter in my life.



This story is dedicated to my twin sister that in the past we were like soul mates but as life changes we are more like brothers, which now i'm beginning to understad and accept the fact that even though now she has her things and I have mine, i still mis that time when we use to do thing together.

to my sister and soulmate that is always with me and always has a good advice for me.
