Flung back in time.

I had a call from a friend who I haven't really had a chance to talk to in a long time. We didn't get to a down to earth talk on what's happened over the last three years since we last saw each other, he was mainly in need of a good vent. But that was okay, we all need it sometimes. It was just good to hear his voice. He's going to school at a university in North Texas, don't remember which, I'm horrible with names. But he's pretty much the only asian in his circle, surrounded by whites. The girls who come onto him mainly want to 'experiment' he says. Its driving his self esteem low because of what he considers his best friend is always getting hit on, and the girls who talk to him always talk about his best friend. 

I know what he's going through, I've gone through the same thing with my friend with Ghazal. My friend as only known his best friend of a year or two at most I think, I've known Ghazal for well over five. We both have a lot of acciatences, some distant school friends, but no current friends who we can hang around with all the time but our 'best friends' but there is conflict. 

This friend who I talked to last night I've known since my freshmen year of High School, thats how far back it goes. I didn't meet Ghazal till my Junior year. But its just... I don't know, amazing at the same time makes me sad. Will I ever actually meet him and see him face to face again? We tried once when I was living in North Texas, about a 100 miles south of him, but didn't work out, we both got lost and couldn't find the meet up point.
