I was recently reunited with a past love.
And I mean Love. Like love. Back then there were times when I just couldn’t get though the day without him… yes him by my side. It wasn’t an addiction kinda love but you know I really enjoyed having him around.
Then circumstances tore me apart from him and although I made efforts to stay in touch with him, but with my new circumstances I only came around to check up on him when it’s convenient for me. Like when I need to pass time. And due to these circumstances, maybe there were other new loves along the way but you know, he wasn’t forgotten, there were days when I actually craved for what he once provided me. Then one day he just disappeared and I just couldn’t figure it out. I don’t who the first person to ask and … he’s just not there anymore. I missed him but eventually it was like, *shrug* I managed to get by without him in my life.
SO then like recently, it all started out with a supposed introduction and turned out into the whole, “Oh I didn’t know you know him as well!” Initially I was SO happy to know that he’s still around, then I felt silly that he’s not too far from where I last saw him and all the while I was wondering what happened to him. But when I finally saw him, it was just… like, you know different. He’s changed. For better or worse, I can’t tell for now. There were things about him that I felt I wasn’t able to connect with anymore, like there were things I used to know so well but now I wasn’t too sure. At the same time there’s still a part him that knew me well enough to know how to treat me and what to expect out of me but it’s just that ... you know, time changed us both. I was a bit lost, trying to get back into the flow and chemistry of us but there were things that changed and I KNOW I can’t get them back.
Then after a while of course I was overwhelmed by how much I actually miss him. Like I can’t believe he’s been gone from my life for so long! And I was reminded of what I missed. The good thing is, the thing I loved most about him didn't change. Much.
I don’t know what the future will be like but for now I’m just glad we’re re-united. :-D
I (still) love you, Mr Teh Tarik.
Thank you for the kick ass iced milk tea you never fail to provide me with. :-)
