A video of two toddlers running toward each other on a New York City sidewalk and giving each other a big hug is getting lots of play on social media and making adults feel like kids again.

"My friend!" one of the boys sounds like he is yelling as he runs toward the other.

The video posted to Facebook by Michael Cisneros, the father of one of the boys, has been viewed 57,000 times and shared over 1,500 times.

"I have no idea how to make things go viral, for those that do......please share. This is just so beautiful. Finnegan + Maxwell= BESTIES!!! If we could all be like this," Cisneros wrote in the post.

ABC News spoke to Cisneros, who said the 2-year-olds, Maxwell and Finnegan, met a year ago and are inseparable.

“When they are away from each other, they are always asking about one another,” he said, adding they go to music class together and love to dance.
