Atonement /9:09 AM
I've been sitting here waiting for good friday to come. And its come!
Don't worry, I'm not going to preach today.
For the past few days, I've been in a rather melancholic mood. Perhaps its because life seemed so frivolous since school was out. As someone once told me: "You'd feel empty after a while of leaving school." I did pick up some books to read, but very unfortunately, they were of a more poignant sort and they left me feeling more moody than ever.
It isn't just books.
While I like spending time alone reading, there always is this longing for human connection.
I miss my friends.
Yes, I
miss them.
There are people I on a weekly sort of basis, if not in person, at least on msn. There are people I pay visits too fortnightly. And then there are also those who seem to have floated away and I wonder what became of them. I pick up the phone, dial their number and press my ear close to the receiver. In my mind I rehearse my lines: "Are you free now? Let's chat a bit. Wanna go out for tea? Or maybe dinner? I don't think you'll be free for lunch right?" I always hope so hard that they want to speak with me, or want to get together again. Just a little something to show that they remember me. However, about four out of five times I get the responce: "soandso is in the toilet, could you call back later."
I think the next time I find them I'd tell them straight in the face:
"I MISS YOU!"
Well, they may freak out and run.
Anyway, the next time anyone hears that line coming from my mouth (even if the tone I use is super chirpy, super ditzy, or extremely unemotional), you can bet that person meant a whole lot to me.
Drats! I'm done venting. Have a good good friday everyone!
