You look the same as when i last saw you.
The lakeside area of UoE - where the library is too
Sure, there are of course some changes - a hair salon, a grocer selling Chinese food stuffs, flat screens outside PC labs to indicate when a class will be going on. But generally, you are still who i last saw u to be.
But the exterior is not a true reflection of what is going on inside - and altho the familiarity is obvious on the outside, it is not reflected inwardly.
South Courts and the Quays - home to frens
I don't deny that it was so good visiting you again, reacquainting myself - eating on campus, doing my laundry even! But things just are not the same anymore.
The University Squares - where i sat many times, alone or with mates
I guess this is inevitable - after all, i'm just one of the students. You get to know so many new people each year. So it is no surprise that in spite of the welcome and all, i felt a little of the distance between us - yes, even tho i am right there with you.
The North Towers - home for a year
Yet, i do not put the blame wholly on you. I too have changed. i too have many new people who are in my life now. And in some ways, i am glad that things are like this now.
I did go to those 'places' - where wonderful memories were made. And it did not stir up much emotions - not like those other times when i went back there. Yet, this i feel is good - for it is time i move on and leave you for good.
Main campus
As i left, i told me mate, Michael that this was prolly the last time i'll be visiting. After all, he too will be leaving soon. And the place would have lost all the reasons why it was once so special - the people.
But i'll hold on to the memories - and will always be glad of the time i had with you.
