Frens of Bygone Years
Last nite, I contacted (fine...msned) a fren whom I hv not been in touch with for at least the last 3 years. It's good to know he and his family are fine and doing well. In fact, we were talking as naturally as if we spoke yesterday instead of 3 yrs ago.
As I grow older, I can't help but reminisce on the old times, the frens I hv lost contact w for some reason or another, and I start wondering if the present me is more likeable than in the past. I dun mean like as in love, but just in general, has the real me been eclipsed by the working environment and the working society? Have I bcum jaded by my life experiences and grown to distrust one and all? Am I now reaching back to the past to regain my bearing and trust in life?
No clear answer, but at a min, I guess I just wanna know if my frens hv been doing well since contact was inevitably lost. I wanna b able to say Hi to them if I chance upon them on the streets and be invited to their weddings, child's mth-old bdae celebration etc.
My wish is for them to be even happier than when they had me in their lives.
