A moment to hold onto

There are a few times in our lives that we just can not let go of, no matter how old we grew, they are just immortal, these moments belong to us, whenever we feel like going back, there they are in our minds, we close our eyes, and for a second, we get a glimpse of that memory, at first it seems like a vivid picture, then we begin reliving its intensity, its purity, its tranquility, our mind chooses to create the ultimate version of it, a fantasy, as i would like to call it, an escape so we can runaway to everytime we felt weak or distorted by overwhelming emotions that sometimes take over us.
One of these moments I have been recalling lately is actually a certain day in the week I used to share with my dear friend, saturdays...
Back in college days, saturday was a very special day,It was like a ritual, the alarm clock set on 8am, knowing that it took me an hour exactly to get everything done, and so when Im all dressed up fresh and ready to go, I would hear my friends ring tone on my mobile, I never answered, knowing that she would already be waiting for me in the car, so without any time wasted, I rush down the stairs to greet her so we can get moving, we were always excited , we drove to this one place, and after we had eaten breakfast, we talk and talk for hours, not any shallow conversations, they were deep heart to heart ones. Afterwards we would go to my place and sit on the balcony and enjoy ourselves with a nice cup of coffee, even if it grows quiet for a few minutes, it always felt so liberating, because we always knew what to say and when to say it.
There are so many memories to remember, especially if they are cofounded with the ones you hold dear to your heart. Blows us away the idea of how much we can take in sometimes, but it is true, the mind is much more complex than we thought, it is said that today is a gift, that why its called the present, it is also because we can always create moments that live forever after, only if we cherish it with our special ones...
