···The people one meets come and go in different times of his life, most of them never stay forever even more of them reappear but when they do It's for a reason, whatever that reason is, good or bad, theres always one.
···I saw her once last year briefly while going to the movies but before that I probably hadn't seen her in four or five years. She had always been a very good friend of mine in Highschool, we hung around sometimes and we even went to see the Stone Temple Pilots together. It makes me laugh to think that we hardly actually talked during the concert, I was a very very shy person back then and to actually go to a concert WITH A GIRL was just new to me. We had the worst fucking seats in the place but the concert was great, it's still one of the best I've gone to.
···She was pretty quiet too, I remember. If I'm not mistaken she sat in the back of the classroom, I'm not sure, at that time my attention was focused on something impossible.
···I left for college and she and I kept in touch every once in a while. Every time we talked it was just to catch up with each other's life because there'd always be a long period of time between conversations, the thing was that we always laughed, we always had a great time, as if it had only been a couple days since we saw each other.
···Two days ago I see her on my screen, her screen name shes had for forever was still the same, "Masaryk," which I have no idea what that means. So I decide it's time to catch up again, so I talk to her. The process of catching up starts immediately, life, love, work, future, people, pains, experiences, plans. The list goes on and on. I tell you, "You know, we should get together and talk." she agrees and we set a place.
···It was dinner and drinks but plans changed a bit, instead of italian it was mexican food. She looked taller than usual, and it made me feel like I needed platform shoes but once we sat down we were all the same height.
···Talk, talk, talk. The conversation went one for hours, drink after drink and plates of food; she laughed and so did I, I hadn't laughed that much in weeks and I hadn't realized how much I needed it. First time in a very long time that I didn't drive back home in a melancholic mood.
···After dinner we went on with the drinks, since I had bought dinner she was stern on buying the booze, I had to let her, she was taller, she could beat me up. She had only gone to my favorite place once so she hardly knew it. I explained to her some of the beers and she ordered a couple. After finishing we'd order something new. Of the six we tried we liked all but one. Now we know.
···She likes taking pictures but doesn't like getting photographed like every photographer, we have the same movie tastes, our music differs a bit but we could spend hours talking about "Lost in Translation.", 45 minutes was enough last night.
···Many people have told me that she and I would make an interesting couple, what they don't know is that I'd considered that a long time ago, I can still remember wanting to ask her out but back then everything went wrong for me. There were times where I wasn't sure what I wanted. After that it was impossible for me to see her or have those intentions. She's just always been very attractive to me in every way.
···She's leaving in a couple of weeks and so am I, so that means, just like years ago, nothing can or will happen. We'll just leave it at dinner and drinks every time.
···Every single time.
