Cherish

There's something I forgot.

By coincident, I saw Nicholas at Sitex 2007 giving out flyers. Although we weren't very close during secondary schooldays, we still still did exchange a few phrases of polite greetings. We didn't talk much. There's also nothing much for us to talk about. After exchanging our phone number, he picked up his bag and left while my brother and me picked up our printer, laptop and a huge bag of freebies and turn another way.
I realise, perhaps our conversation today was the longest ever since we knew each other in class. Have we not even thought of chatting up when we were in school? Does it always have to take so long for anyone to realise that we have not been actually catching up with someone we knew?
Perhaps someday when everyone of us start to miss the good old days and we will realise we can actually treasure people around us much more than we did. And one day everyone will start to miss people who are already not around for us to catch up with.

Am I thinking too much? No. I'm just thinking about Ricky. Remembering the times when I was chasing him around in school to get my things back.

Vaya con Dios, Ricky. Usted vivirá en nuestro corazón.
