Reminiscence

It’s been 5 years…

I haven’t any thought whether this is considered “long” to many, or easily scoffed off as “ah, that’s nothing!” to some. All I know, in the back of my head is that, “it’s kinda long”. We are one year short of the length World War II lasted (next year we’ll equal that =P ), but so am I relieved that it wasn’t anything like world war, hehe.

Had a sudden rush of memories.

I remember the times we had to iron things out due to the fact that your friends are a whole lot different from my friends. And there’s that whole getting used to it period. Then came another phase as working adults. I remember the times I had to travel to Bukit Jalil to see you, or pick you up for cell (pre-Subang-komuter time), or have dinner. I must say I should have done that more often, even though it’s a hassle and out of the way for me. Surely Bukit Jalil is nearer than Bolzano.

I also remember the weekends I don’t get to see you when you go back to Seremban. Though I understand why you had to go back those days, but I wished I had more time with you during those weekends. We could have breakfasts, or just laze around in the house, or go out. Probably I wished that I should have followed you back home those weekends. Right now, I could use a little of any of that. But no, I have to wait.

Seems that I’m wishing this and that, all those things in the past. Things I can’t really do anything about it right now.

It is not easy for me this year, and more apparent recently. Not to deviate from what I intend to write, I will not lament further about this, lest it spoils the occasion.

A short pair of quatrains I wrote for you… :)

Rocks have chipped off
Shores have been washed away
The sunshine you brought forth
Nor could I fathom nor convey

I see not the rays have fade
You have been sorely missed
Knowing I have to wait
To embrace you now I wish

Happy 5th Anniversary, my dear. I miss you too much.
