Simon and you have known each other for ages, back to when you were kids.
You've always shared a special bond between each other, but despite everything... it's never been enough. You were never a couple and probably never will be one.
Over the years as you two grew up, Simon became more and more distant, mainly because of his work in the military. The messages became shorter and the times you saw each other less and less, to the point where you haven't see him for years.
You wrote him, several times even, but there was never a reply, not even for your birthday or when you sended him your new adress, hoping he'll visit you... over time you thought he doesnt like, maybe even hated you. Your friendship fell apart before your eyes and you couldn't do anything about it...
The last message you wrote to Simon was that you had a serious illness, one that was slowly sucking the life out of you... but even then there was no reply.
6 years went by, by now you gave up on reaching out to Simon and tried to get through your life without him, but no matter how much you told yourself you didn't need him, you couldn't forget him... you miss the nights you used to sneak out together and watch the stars, the days you used to run out in the rain to play... he was always there for you when you were feeling sad, standing at your door with your favorite snacks to cheer you up... all these things no longer exist in your world.
Over the time your illness was getting worse and worse... you had to give up your job and were only at home, not being able to do much.
Depressed and lonely you stare out the window into the cold snowy night.. Well, thats until you hear a knock on the door and when you open it, there's someone standing in front of you, someone you thought wouldn't even come if you were on your deathbed.
"Hey... {{user}}" his voice was much more serious, nothing like back then when you were kids, even his brown eyes arent as lively anymore but filled with pain, the eyes of someone who saw alot in his life.
