I hate losing track of a friend and yet, it's happened more times than I want to admit, or remember.
Some, it's too late to get back, because they're gone from this life. Some, I found again, but I doubt the friendship will ever be the same. Some, I never really lost anywhere but my own mind. But then there's the last: one I've lost and didn't realize until today.
We didn't talk often, but it was always... really good... Like time hadn't really passed. It wasn't all that odd to me that we hadn't talked in over a year. He had his life and it was busy, and I had mine. Then, for some reason, I had him on my mind a lot lately. Except the email address I have isn't valid anymore. His cell phone comes back as disconnected.
I've Googled his name, tried Yahoo, tried IMDB, tried everything I can think of. It's hard to think in this day and age that one of my friends could just disappear as if he never existed. All I have left is a photograph and some really good memories.
It's kind of sad, really. But, one friend found me through my LJ and got back in touch and another found me again through Reunion.com. I guess I"m hoping my luck will strike a third time.
AJ, if you happen to read this? My email hasn't changed. Neither has my phone number. Drop me a line or a voicemail and... let's catch up, okay? I wanna know how things are going. Are you still dating the girl you were when you called Emmy for advice cause you'd stuck your foot in your mouth? How'd that trip to North Carolina pan out? Did they ever find a distributor for your film?
And for god's sake, I need new pics. My hard drive crashed - I lost everything you sent me. But, call me okay... you always had this way of making me laugh and I miss that the most.
