No one ever truly goes away...
A fren called me today.
He used to be someone special in my heart. So special, I still have an extremely soft spot for him, I think.
Any random memory of him is tagged with associated images of strawberry Campinos, the New Paper (esp the Sports section), long fingers with perpetually black fingernails executing sms-ing moves that are mastered to the level of blurring speed, long-sleeved tops with e sleeves always pushed up to the elbows to conjure not-too-convincing illusions of biceps, which are of course non-existant; and crappy, lame-till-u-limp jokes and pokes.
btw, I just typed a 5-lined sentence. My English lecturers won't be too pleased. This is what one tutor will label with the phrase, 'tortured syntax'. lol.
well, back to e pt.
I haven't eaten another strawberry Campino since the last one he bought me. Really. n now, doing a quick mental count, that had been, like, gasp! more than 2 years ago.
That used to be my favourite candy, n trust me, its reali kinda sweet-till-u're-sick. think its redeeming grace is its extraordinary strawberry flavor - remember its "taste like real strawberries and cream!" commercial tagline?
Yet, ple who know me should be well-acquainted with e fact that I dun have a sweet tooth, at all. so, y will this be my fav poison when there r those less fatal to choose from?
Now thinking back, I think e candy didn't really matter.
its e person who handed me dat generous dose of diabetic confection almost weekly that conferred the candy my exceptional favor.
He's reali quite e gal's guy.
Mind you though, he's not without his share of vices. The above recollection is the result of me always putting on rose-tinted spectacles when it comes to him, willingly.
always remembered with fondness. with bittersweet nostalgia.
always a fren, as long as he chooses to stay.
But I'll never place him in that special place within my emotional bloodpump again.
Having said all that, why did my spirits still soar as such when he called??
