An amazing question!
The crucial part of the question was...
“Deep
down I wish we got along, and I wish we just had a good
relationship.”...
...
I
could not help responding to this wonderful emotion!
...
The
whole experience of life happens only within us!.... And not at that
enemy's location.... so far away, ... maybe a million miles
away.... his enmity towards us, the experience of it for us, is
only within us, not million miles away!.... When we go to sleep,
deep sleep, we keep aside that enmity too, along with our mind...
otherwise, even sleep eludes us!.... If this is so.... who is the
'prime-suspect' about our little bit of 'peace-of-mind'? Well, if we
cannot even be a little peaceful, there is no scope for something
“else”....

The
question:
Have you ever went to being enemies with someone to being very close?
I
am just wondering. there is this guy who we absolutely hate each
other right now. But the weird thing is we have very compatible
personalities, and get along smashingly if both of us just allow it
to happen. But he was a jerk to me, so I don't lighten up around him.
We just don't get along.
Deep down I wish we got along, and I wish we just had a good relationship.
Anyway, I am just curious if anybody else has a similar experience... have you ever been enemies with someone and something changed? what happened? are you friends now?

My
humble attempt:
Well,
at a very deep level, it is ourselves!
...
That hate is not the opposite of love... please see... it is indifference that is the true opposite of love!
Hate is something that gives more space in our hearts to a person than our friends, loved ones! We keep hating someone all the time, we keep remembering them all the time... just that we do not really enjoy hating...
...
When we learn to accept, the acceptance deepens, there is no way we can ever hate any one, any more! There are such wonderful beings .... though just a few... but good enough to demonstrate a possibility! So, we ourselves are the enemies to our own self... the other one whom we right now hate so much is just a reminder about it.... like that irritating alarm!.... it makes a noise for our sake, but some of us in that half-sleepy-anger, smash it, and later regret, and lament ... when we need to buy a new one!
