It’s one change i seem to have a love-hate relationship with. It’s when the moment is about to come and go. A truth that will always happen, an event that hurts and leave wounds and a phenomenon you certainly can’t do anything when it’s time to go. However, it has two sides, come and go of people we dont want in our lives and the come and go of dear people.
When it’s just people come and go, it leans more on the benefits than detriments but when friends and could-be-good-or-better-than-friends-but-has-to-go come and go, it sucks. Big time. Acquaintances fall under the people come and go, a simple background on a person would not make someone a friend. One night meet ups or any kind of meet ups does not belong to friends as well.
The definition of a friend maybe relative, but generally, a friend is someone dear to a person that stays as a social contact and comrade in times, of joy, distress, and even in nothingness. Well it’s not what this blog is about. It’s about a situation when an online friend (i used the adjective online to describe his personality in the blogosphere and gadgets of communication)go without me knowing he was about to go. I can’t say he was my friend because we only met once, but somehow through technology and advanced transmission of messages he became dear to me. Alas we both have memory gap. But i believe his gap is larger than mine. I still somehow remember the relevant things in life. I felt sad when i realized, it was not a memory gap that tranpires now between us, but the phenomenon of come and go. He was leaving sometime ago and now he is gone. I would even doubt he have noticed he had gone already. So much more for him to remember that sometime in the past he met me.
Persons come into our lives in different ways for different reasons but they also go away in a more diversified means and strange reasons. I am mourning the loss of this special and dear online friend who left without notice. I don’t weep just for my past partners but i weep everytime someone of great value to me goes away. He may not know until now that he lost me. Maybe because i was not of value to him. Whatever it is, i hate it when they go.
He came into my life when i least expected to meet someone in the same way he left in a moment when i thought he was still there. Time gave me the thought he is already gone, if it was a memory gap he would have known i am not around anymore after some few days. But he forgot all about me. In as much as i wanted to reach him now i opted not to. It was his prerogative to leave unnoticed. I respect that. If he happened to drop by here, which i would doubt, i bet he will not know he’s the one i am talking about.
As you come and go, i’ll raise a cheers for you.
P.S. I’m not talking about the person i have fallen in love recently. He is still much felt in my life. And btw, dont ask who i am talking about…
