A Lost Friend

Apr 18, 2005 21:55


Turn off your lights, grab your iPOD and go outside. We all need some time alone, to think, to relax, to have some kind of profound realization of some sort. There's a world outside that moves at a constant speed with or without you.

There's still light outside with colorful clouds and a warm sky. The world is still awake and busy waiting for no one. For the first time in months, I saw the moon tonight. I guess I haven't really been paying much attention to it, to my closest lonely friend. Unlike how I use to not so long ago. Heh, well I guess it was long ago. It looks bigger tonight, somewhat brighter, but not as white. Alot of memories.... moments of staring up at that moon. Thousands of different places, thousands of different times, often times alone but with a rare special occasion it was spent with someone. Its sort of a nice feeling looking at the moon and knowing that millions of other people are looking at the same thing. Often times when I was younger, more naive, I would stare at the moon and I would get these uncommon feelings, like that one special person in my life was looking at it, at the same time I was. Heh, how foolish I was back then. Believing in something as stupid as distant connections breaking through barriers of time and space, making us seem closer then we are.

I'm on the verge of something new. But I have this notion that I should keep things the way they are now. Even though, "now" isn't exactly the place where I wanna be. Isn't it funny knowing something no one else does. Knowing that we all live differently, think differently, regret differently, care absurdly.

Its a Thursday, just a regular day. Today has no importance to me. Well..... fuck.
