I tried creating some sort of nostalgia tonight.

 

after some problems with my computer, I finally have it up again, and tonight I played some music. inadvertently I ended up playing songs that reminded me why I’m far away in england now.

 

she’s always on my mind

from the time I wake up

till I close my eyes

she’s everywhere I go

she’s all I know

 

and though she’s so far away

it just keeps getting stronger everyday

and even now she’s gone

I’m still holding on…. (am i?)

 

so tell me where do I start

cos it’s breaking my heart

don’t wanna let her go

 

I thought I’d gotten over it, gotten over everything, and getting on pretty well with my life. after all it’s been more than a year already since everything happened. I thought I’d test it out by looking through some old photos. some old photos of happier times, when we celebrated friends’ birthdays together. then I saw her photo, and his photo too, and I realised I just couldn’t bring myself to look at those photos.

 

that’s when I asked myself: have I gotten over everything? or am I still holding on?

 

I can still distinctly hear her wispy voice whining to me over the phone. see her eyes gleam with delight. feel the little accidental contacts between our hands. smell the white musk on her…

 

sounds reminding me of her, sights reminding me of her, scents that came from her, all these don’t exist in reality anymore far away where I am, but they still exist just as vividly in my imagination. does memory really fade? will we ever forget?

 

I’m starting to think I just need someone else to come into my life, maybe not now, but anytime that new person comes into my life, that’s when I know that I’ll start to exorcise those ghosts of the past, and start believing I’m not that same loser anymore. yet I don’t want to behave like one on the prowl, looking out for potentials as if I were desperate. I know I am happy as I am now, but that life might probably be more fulfilling with someone to care for, someone to dote upon, but that’s not a pressing need.

 

actually I don’t really know.

 

who really knows anyway?
