All Things Fade in Time…
It’s been a few days or probably a week since I’ve been constantly bugged by this predictable habit of mine.
No, it’s neither something really explicit such as the bare skin that we see nor is it something too elusive that it will take a certain amount of time to discover. It’s more like a way of life if you will, it is there at plain sight, but people overlook it because mainly, we don’t do detailed observations of another person’s way of life.
I’ve felt a nostalgic feeling with each passing day, nostalgic not of the life I had back then (it is a factor, but not the central piece), but rather nostalgic of the people I have had contact with in the past years.
I could fill up a whole paragraph of the people I have once encountered and interacted with intimately. I’ve told myself time and time again that I would somehow try to get those good times back.
I have faded from their lives, just as I have faded from most of the people I care for. I may not speak of it explicitly but I do miss them, I do long for the time when we all would sit down again and chat like the good old times, and I do wish that I had not allowed myself to fade.
However, all good things must come to an end, and I only have memories to tell myself that all of that was real.
Bleak as I think it is, I still hope for the day when I get to relive those moments again. I do not seek fortune, fame nor worldly pleasure Ok, that’s hypocrisy, I do seek those, but the thing I seek most is companionship, and I won’t stop trying until I achieve it.
