Nostalgia

So much has changed this year a few good things but a few bad things too. I would like to say that there are always a few memories that should be left untouched and unchanged, yet I should never think about those memories because they are so.. painful. But there are a few nostalgic moments thankfully in the recent years that can be reflected upon, but felt only with melancholy in return.

Trying to start from chronological order of last summer,

Dad, I miss the way that we got along so well as a family. I miss the weekly poker nights. I miss the monopoly sessions that lasted over 2 hours only to have all hotels at the end of the game before going completely bankrupt. But I hated how you used to argue with mom so much.

Tina, I miss your laugh. I miss your smile. And most of all, I miss your presence when I'm with you. I definitely miss your warmth since when I held you, I felt that I was safe and whole complete and I felt loved. The thing I miss the most? Your quirkiness and our cute talks together as a couple, our name calling even though we still do that to some extent. And I've always missed how I was able to make you laugh. But I hated how it had to end up like this, I hated how I had to find an inconvenient truth through my blind eyes.

Jennifer, I miss your innocent nature. I never thought that you would be the one to drink or try drugs, or put your body through harm like that for a little experience, for a little fun. I remember we used to be pretty good friends, at some point I think I even had a crush on you, a small one but you became significant to me. You helped me through my depression. The thing I miss the most? I miss the old you. Although you can still be described as the cute, funny, smart, pretty girl, I can never see you as the innocent one anymore. We all grow up, but I thought you grew up too fast. I hated how we just slowly started to drift away. You liked these things and I didn't. I tried to be a good friend, maybe I am, but for all I know, I lost you somehow someway and I know i'll never find the same girl again.

Felix, I miss your coolness. You were always a cool, straightforward, down to earth, one of the most chill person ever. And things changed and we started going down our own separate paths, right before my eyes and I couldn't do anything. We used to be so close, always hanging out and getting lunch. I miss that. I miss the fact that you'd just hit me up and we'd go bowling. I miss that you even talk to me sometimes. I miss that we used to goof around and what I miss the most? Somehow we just connected on a level where we didn't have to speak, but I hated how our friendship was so strong and yet you let something get in the way of things when I know you could have done something to preserve our friendship. I felt like you didn't make the right choice and now you're too far down along that road and now I can't even see that road anymore.

Diana, I miss how close we were. By far you are the closest friend that I had ever had. You were the only one who made the effort to talk to me every. single. day. I loved it to b honest. Although I knew the painful truth that it would never last forever, I wondered to see how far you could keep up. You make me proud to have you be my best friend; it's great. I miss how we never had an awkward silence and today it amazes me to think how did I/we do that. Maybe I always had something to say, or maybe you always had something to say or to ask and we got so close. I miss skipping things or cutting things early to have to tend to your assistance. I genuinely felt important, I felt loved. The thing I miss the most? The free time that you once had so that we could honestly talk about anything however long it may take. Even if we never finished we could always do it the next day. Now it seems such a rare occurrence. But I hate how I always have to tell myself it's cause she has homework, she doesn't have time for me sometimes. Although you said sometimes I can say "Can we talk for a bit?" I know somehow that'll never really happen. We'll never have all the time in the world to talk about things.

Lester, I also miss how close we were. I cannot believe that you went to another school just because you didn't pass chem ap. We could've been at the same school, doing the same things, we could've been roomies. You could have taught me guitar. We could have gone to badminton together have thursday office nights together at the girl's suite. I miss how we used to hang out a lot, but now it seems you're too preoccupied with your girlfriend and church. I understand that you're busy, but I only saw you once this summer just ONCE. The thing I miss the most? When we would be jamming together at your house without thinking that we sucked when I really did suck, but I hate how as I said, that we don't hang out enough and you don't exactly call me up to hang out nor do you go online on aim anymore What's up with that?

I felt like I lost a whole bunch more than these stories here. But here a picture is worth a thousand words and more than enough to tell you how I feel especially tonight.
