Lilo

n.
a friendship that can lie dormant for years only to pick right back up instantly, as if you’d seen each other last week—which is all the more remarkable given that certain other people can make every lull in conversation feel like an eternity.

From lifelong + lie low. Pronounced “lahy-loh.”
