My what's happening
I think it was the way he looked at me with surprise and grabbed my hand when we met again, completely coincidentally. In that moment I was truly happy to see a familiar face especially in a sea of false smiles and insincere pleasantries. We said nothing more than two sentences before I proceeded to fall asleep in my seat while he took care of everything else until we landed.
It's hard to believe that almost half a year, an eight-day flight, one serendipitous drunken night later, I've spent almost every day thereafter with this one person I've never wanted to be apart from for too long.
How did this happen, when the past year saw me proclaiming to hate the universe and its conspiracy to make me the most miserable person on earth? How did this bugger suddenly turn up, understanding each and every one of my Friends references, finishing each end of the song lyric I hum under my breath, showing up with the exact same things I bring him when we meet (a chocolate bar and a bottle of water), and giving me the most snap-twist moments I've had since god-knows-when?
"I think we are the same person, lah"
"We share the same brain is it?"
Is this crazy? Probably. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
