It was through letters, emails or some landline calls, which were expensive internationally. Then we stopped talking, we became very distant. At 16 or 17 years old we met again, communication was much easier with messenger, we chatted there. We got closer again, we had not lost that feeling we had since we were kids, nothing had changed.
