The people in my life, in no definite order (because I do not wish to rank you in any way)
One.
Though I often detest the effect social media has on my attention span, I am thankful for the likes of Facebook, and the slightly more traditional online platform, blogging, for giving me a glimpse into your life every now and then. From what I can see, you've already taken flight, and I feel so proud of you. It makes me happy to know we can still more or less chat as the friends we used to be. You're miles, timezones even, ahead of me quite literally and also academically, I suspect. But our passions have led us on different paths for a reason, and though I miss you I am happy with where we both are now. I pray our paths will cross once again. I still memorize the curls in your ponytail, though I sometimes forget that I do. (When I think of where you are I also think of a certain flame-haired danseur I love so much! It's cool how you two are associated in my mind.)
Two.
"Jason?" Hey, he's kind of cute. smart. authoritative. sweet. "We are here for you." nearness. caring (maalaga). sporting and lighthearted. tall. hugger. "forever alone". tour guide. honest. responsible. "Perpustakaan." very smart. microbio. "Good morning!" pink. blushing. shrimp. dartboard. running. sushi. escort. Lot 10. photo. "play-play." signature. thank you. thank you. You belong here.
// I miss the way your eyes turn into brush strokes when you smile. I wonder what will change when we see each other again. I don't know what to say, as usual. Only broken English.
Three.
I still find myself wanting to run to you when I'm crying. I think about our relationship friendship sometimes. I never really gave you a chance. You tell me not to be so hard on myself but I think I shouldn't flatter myself, either. I really, honestly love how we don't need to say good night. You're just a really great friend.
To be continued.
