A Secret Between Friends

Teddy.15


Notice of absence from Teddy.15
I'm currently on a beautiful island with the ghost of Napoleon see you all soon, when I return from my annual holidays. So take care and I'll see you all soon. 💜
 
Today, I had the great pleasure to sit next to

one of my oldest friends
on the bus

actually he is in his Seventies  
 
a gentleman
I've had the pleasure to know
for many years


he once shared with me
that hidden deep within his wallet there's a concert ticket of the Beatles

a concert he went to
in Rome in 1975

he showed it to me 
in the middle of a shop once 
I was truly humbled 
It almost brought tears to my eyes
 
I mean how cool is that?

A ticket that's more than forty five years old still intact and of a concert of the Beatles? 

 
we are very good friends
we talk about everything
from politics and music, to the weather 
 
but even after all these years...
 
I still don't know his name.

    A concert ticket of memories carried with us. A friend familiar that we do not know the name of even after nearly a lifetime of knowing them. Such a great metaphor for our inner self that carries memories of fondness and whom though we love we do not know well enough to know the name of. Such a lovely metaphor intended or not it stood out like an old friend in the dark.

      A fine write, Teddy. I have experienced that. My mind feels guilty for not knowing, my heart doesn't give a damm he is my friend.

      • Teddy.15

        Very cool, sweet Teddy. It's the little things that can really make an impact.

        • Teddy.15

          They really can, but to hold a used ticket of the Beatles in a coop in the middle of Tuscany 47 years old is a first for me. 🌹

          Wonderful how you can get close to people whom you meet day to day, doing the ordinary. What a lovely share Teddy. My brother and I saw the Beatles at the Astoria in Highgate. It has been one of the highlights of my younger years. Didn’t keep the ticket stubbs though. One of my neighbours I called George for years, a couple of years ago he told me his name is Hugh😂. It happens. Have a lovely weekend 🌹💜

              It surely is, he isn't well now so I see him very little but when I do it makes my day. 🌹 Thank you dear Andy 💜
