Love / Friendship minus The 5 senses

They say, Love at first sight. But can Love happen beyond the 5 senses? Not necessarily the romantic kind of Love. But the purely platonic, " I'll always be here for you " way? Can a friendship blossom between strangers who have never met, and may never meet either? Can just Social Networking Sites be a stronghold for a growing friendship?

I came across him on one such website. It was a childhood picture that started it for us. Facebook messages moved on to become text messages. That was followed by Whatsapp and then, BB Messenger, with phone calls, letters and little gifts sprinkled in between.  So, I've known him for over 4years. Told him my deepest secrets, my most embarrassing moments or just the little things that happened to me during the day. Listened to the things he had to say, survived the times when he pulled my leg or tried to kill me by simply making me laugh. We trusted each other, totally. May be it was the fact that we had no common person/s and a few hundred kilometres that separated us, but it helped. We never fought, argued a little may be, but that's about it. He became my 3 AM friend, MY PERSON. I like to believe I managed to become his person too. (It would be embarrassing to know I wasn't, especially after such a public "announcement" :P )

But like any regular pair of friends, we've had our ups and downs. Times when we didn't speak for weeks together or days when we exchanged over a thousand messages back to back. But we went with the flow and surfed through the waves. Obviously, I know there's going to be a time when it might not be the same. Time and distance that separates us today may bring us together or take us further away, he's always going to be my special friend. Always!

So yeah, back to my questions from above. Is it really possible to care so much about a person you haven't met? I think so. I totally do. Talking to him makes me smile. He's one person who can make sense out of the gibberish that I talk. And yes, I haven't met him. Though I hope, that if we ever bump into each other, we can still be the same, crazy and psychotic pair that we are.

I love him, in a purely platonic way that is, before you can get any funny ideas. :P I'm sure when (and if) he reads this, he's going to know I'm talking about him and he'll go all "Ewww!! Such happy-gooey stuff this is!" And that's the reaction that'll truly make it worth it!

For my handsome-est Biwii! XoXo
Love, Zee!
