Long Lost Friend

Dear Diary,

I recovered slightly from the horrible virus in my tummy. Due to the last minute changes in my appointment, I dragged myself up and prepare to go for this imperative meeting with this special person. I am suppose to meet up with Marcus, my puppy love mate the next day but he had to arrange for some other important appointment hence we pushed it forward.

He is my very first important guy friend or maybe I should say a very first closest guy friend.. His family had since migrated to Canada for about 8 yrs which ended the relationship. That is practically how long we have not met. OMG, I did not realized it was this 'long', till we started counting. How time flies ..

I lost contact with him ever since he left... I changed my address and I do not have his address in Canada then. He told me he managed to locate me somehow through friendster after some tough search. You can imagine I was kinda shock when he IM me via my email. It is like searching needle from the sea. I felt so 'heartless', I mean I never thought of putting effort to search for him no matter how hard it is.. I keep saying I miss him and stuff yet no effort was put in. Shameless me. I guess I am just that type that didn't know how to take the first move.

Anyhow he still found me. You bet I almost could not believe what I see in my eyes when he says he is coming over to Singapore for 1 week for a business trip and he wanna meet me. Goodness, is this a prank or what, I thought. It is so amazing. I thought this is what I meant by fate. An incredible ‘force’ or should I saw power that bring 2 people long lost people together. The feeling of meeting long lost friend was great, not to mention a special one.

We met at Taka. I was almost mesmerized by him. Obviously he changed a lot. He is no longer the young ignorant boy, he is now at least a head taller than me and more enhanced in built, more mature and refine. Not that he was handsome or drop dead gorgeous super model, but at least he could bring out that x-factor in him, and that manhood.

We had a long chat in coffee club.. and recollected all those lovely memories. How sweet.. the pure and innocent love.. The feeling is simply miraculous! We laugh at all the silly stuff we have done together, gossips about the rest.. Catch up quite a bit on our current lives.

On our way to his hotel, there was much silence. Each step forward got slower. The atmosphere got kinda tense and heavy.. I wish the walk never end, I bet he felt the same too. Then it was time to part, he patted my on the head like I am a little girl as he used to do very often, gave me a tight hug and kissed me good night on the forehead. The long lost feelings just came back; The same pat, the same hug, the same kiss, the same scent. That kinda 'touched' that no one else can substitute.

Emotions got over me when he told me he would be leaving in a couple of days and he would miss me lots. My eyes virtually went red with tears whelming. Don't ask me why. I mean afterall, we have still been very close friend; after all we have been through many things.
After the many years, he still remembers me and made the effort to look for me. To think he still treasures that little friendship and say sweet things. I was touched honestly (ok fine I easily touched... Whatever but at least I am frank =p). I never thought I could even meet him again.

Tears rolled when I look at his back-view as he walked into the hotel lobby, exactly the same sentiment when I was him left for Canada then. I wonder when we would meet again, I mean now that technology is advance and we have exchanged contact, we can always catch up but somehow he is still that far away. It is never the same. I know I would miss that 'sayang' on the head which never fails to make me feel small yet much loved like a little girl; the kiss goodbye on the forehead that would melt me to the ground.

Then again, people come, people go, and life still goes on. It was already much blessings that we could even meet again hence I shall not ask for more. I only ask that even if we do not meet again, I hope he still remembers me as a good friend even many years down the road, think of this old friend once in awhile and that is more than enough for me. I also pray that he finds happiness and of course excel in his career. God bless him.

Friends forever & Miss ya
