Gone are the Days…

Of course, it’s cliche to say that everyone changes. And along the way, we meet new friends, we dropped the old ones off. I felt kind of disappointed when I recently bumped onto an old friend of mine. I mean like, we used to talk alot, even go out in a lil group of ours, and that was just a mere few years back. Okay so I did not see him the moment I stepped into the fast food restaurant, cuz apparently my stomach’s growling more than I could bother looking at people around me. While waiting for my food, I then looked around, ya know, just looking around for eyecandies.. Haha.. Until I saw him. Initially I was resisting cuz he kinda looked different, well different from the last time I met him. And I don’t dare calling out his name cuz I risk being embarrassed if he’s the wrong person.

And so I called him on the mobile, and noone picked up. I thought he was the wrong person, then he dug up something from his bag, look at his mobile, and look up. Well prolly he’ve seen me when I entered the restaurant. Of cuz he would have seen me, cuz the place was quite empty. At least making eye contact instead of shouting out my name would attract less attention. But I can somehow feel that he’s trying his very best to avoid having any eye contact with me. And when I approached him, gawd I thought we can talk longer, but I kinda feel that he exudes this aura of “I dont feel comfortable talking to u right now, I’m fidgeting, and not talking much, and waiting for this conversation to stop”.

So I kinda get that body language of his, and I went on with my friend to grab our bite. It was an awkward moment.

And a few nights’ back, I was having a jog with Clar, around the neighbourhood. We were jogging, and from far, I see this silhouette of two humans walking towards us. It was in the park, and most of the lights were off by then. And as we got nearer, I can see that it’s him again. I wanted to call out his name, but, we just walked past each other. And that’s when Clar turned to me and ask if that’s him. Come on, see, if both of us can recognise who just walked past us, I’m sure he saw us.

I don’t really know the reason behind it. It’s either I’m being too paranoid. Or something, along the way, happened. Or he wasn’t being comfortable. But never mind. It’s no big a deal.

Well people always change yeah. I long for the four of us to meet up again soon. It’s that simple walk around town, or a dinner together. But it seem now that we’re attached to either our loved ones or work commitments, that we kinda shut our life off with others.
