But little little things have been bringing u to my mind lately. The Coffee Bean where we had a drink, the cinema where we watched movies together, the restaurant where we had great pasta for lunch (and for 50% off!), the holidays we took overseas, the road trips, the things we used to do in chapel, our interest in photography and many others. Yeah, we had great fun together - some of the things i did back then were dreams coming true - and i was glad tt u were there to share those moments with me.
It saddens me, tho. Cuz things are just not the same again.
I've been thru life a lot - and i know that frens come and go. I have to leave. They have to leave. We take different paths, pursue our own dreams, go separate ways.
But altho frens come and go, they never stop being frens. And to me, the test of a true frenship will be one when we meet up again after such a long time of total separation - and we just pick it up where we last left off, as if the weeks or months or years that separated our meeting just melt away. Things changed, of course - we grew fatter (or rather, i grew fatter), we moved, we have new additions in our lives - but our frenship remains the same.
A great example of what i'm saying is my Greek fren Michael (not the 'you' in this post):-
Early autumn 2007, Colchester
Early autumn 2009, Taipeh
Some things never change! :-)
So i perfectly understand it that things dun seem the same between us anymore - u have started a new phase of yr life, a most exciting one, for sure. We are involved in different things. In fact, we hardly see each other anymore. Sometimes, i cannot help but feel that the frenship is not the same anymore...
But when we get a chance to get together again - be it for a meal or a movie or perhaps a holiday again - i hope that you will not be a stranger.
