My old friend

Talking to him again is taking me back a good 5 or 6 years ago to when we first added each other on Facebook. My heart almost skipped a beat each time I saw a new message appear in my inbox and what started as sentences of pleasantries grew and grew in length. Talking about films, comedy, music, just endless stories, ideas, suggestions, recommendations. In our text messages I see it unfolding once again and it makes me feel very happy.

The thing is, feeling very happy about this probably isn't a good thing at all. But then, it's just catching up on the two years we've not spoken. We're not planning things or looking back on old times fondly, no, it's just bridging the gap and it's all friendly and above board. One thing I did differently this time, is make sure everyone was in the know. So, I told Chris that Joe had texted me after years of no contact. He seemed glad that I told him acknowledging the fact that I didn't have to, and also shared with me that on the same day an old friend of his who once tried it on with his girlfriend at the time, came in to his store to catch up and kinda make amends. Something he didn't really need to share but still did, which was nice.

It feels good to see his name on my phone again, and I like to hear how there have been things that he has seen that reminded him of me. I do feel guilty for feeling that though, really I know I shouldn't invite him in as it could be dangerous. But for now, I'm enjoying making up for lost time, even if it's over multiple texts on small phone screens...

 

Ah, I'm so happy it's Wednesday. Only one more day to get through until it's the weekend and our little surprise get away, I hope he'll like it. I also hope it won't be too cold or rainy, so we can enjoy wandering about and perhaps a few drinks in the evening. I do find it a wee bit of a coincidence that Joe has come back on the radar when soon I'll be going back to the city we once lived in. It feels nice though, I am glad. It makes me feel as though if we were to somehow bump into each other it wouldn't be awkward or strange. Well, I hope not anyway!
