Have known him for four month or so, we've met in an online chatting website. Spent those four months chatting daily on Skype for 3, 4, and sometimes 5 hours straight. Despite our cultural, religious and lingual difference, we were in great harmony, I never felt such attachment even with my real life friends whom i meet and see ! He was not the kind of person whom u would chat with one day and feel like not chatting with him the next day, there was something beyond his interesting conversations, his intellect, and decency, something I can't point my finger to, just different... It was just friendship, a sublime one. He showed a great deal of care and was a great listener. He was as happy as I am for this friendship, and we agreed to be a lifelong pen pals, which has always seemed a mirage to me. My feelings went beyond just friendship, I confess, but did not show it or even tried to because it would be torturing. On August, he went to his family for a vacation and I went to mine, we did not meet online as usual since we were busy vacationing, only few emails.. but after this vacation I have not seen him on Skype anymore, and I know he is alive from his twitter page. Among others, he is the only one whom I expected an explanation from , to simply tell me why, I won't be mad , sad yes, but not angry for I understand and give excuses to others, and i have always told him to tell me when he has to go, for any reason: new girlfriend , marriage, even boredom.. but nothing at all ! the last email i sent him was for his birthday, also to see if he is going to respond or not, if not it means he don't want to talk anymore ... and he did not respond.... that is why I did not send him any email to ask "WHY", even though I still want to know ... and even though it has been more than 2 months since out last conversation ....
