we were once like this
it hits you like a speeding bullet. a sudden reminder of the what-had-been's and the blatantly obvious, in-your-face reality of what time had created. inevitability at its finest. nobody can compete with time. you meet someone whom you shared a special bond with, and at that moment you realize that nothing will ever change, that nothing can come between the two of you. because what you had was extraordinary. however, things do not always work out the way we want them to. that's both the beauty and curse of life. hope creates beautiful things. expectations, most often than not, lead to heartbreak.
we used to listen to the same genre of music, enjoy the same food, bonded with the latest fashion trends. our compatibility cannot even be questioned. but somewhere along the way, i found myself reaching out for something else. it was the same for you. circumstances threw us in different paths, and all i could do was hope -- that you won't forget and that i will remember. i've always trusted you. what i didn't trust was myself.
intersections. second meetings. we were both the same but oh so different. we talked for awhile and what a relief it was to share stories without the awkward silences. it was like i was back in high school again -- hanging out near the science lab during lunchbreak, spilling our secrets that we promised never to share with anybody else. and though we're not the same people as before, there wasn't a tinge of regret in my heart. because what we shared before wasn't a figment of my imagination. it was as real as it gets.
