Dear Stranger,

Time moved on and I with it. Slowly at first. Dragged forward against my will. Days that seem to never end became weeks. Like time does, years flew by.

Here I am, in this very moment. Further from you in time but closer in understanding. Knowing exactly what I had, what it cost me and what it was worth.

That story of you I carry with me, even into the version of me that is yet to be written.

Thank you.

So what is friendship? What I thought Was much different to what you sought. I wished a soul-mate. One to be A mind reflecting love to me. You wanted entertainment, just To make you laugh. You thought that trust Was foolish. You were surely right: I was a fool to trust you quite When I was for you but a clown To cheer you up when you were down – No other use apart from this. That was not…

Just Strangers Trio

What has cold eyes – as cold as stone? What presence leaves you more alone? Kills like medusa’s fatal eyes As Time does friendship when it dies Unable to survive the years But dwindles, till it disappears.

Just Strangers Duo

His eyes were dead and flat like stone Within a once-warm, friendly face. No spark of warmth within them shone. Of our old friendship – not a trace. What happened? Time, which changes all, Which grinds the mountains into dust Which kills each leaf in autumn-fall Dispatches care, extirpates trust, Replaces ardour with distaste And kindness with a cool disdain. All charity has gone to waste. Yet…

Just Strangers Uno

I saw your your two dead eyes gaze into space. But who was that who I saw in your place? You, once my friend, were now a stranger grown. Why should our friendship now you must disown? When friendship cools, it strangeness leaves behind. With just a touch of bitterness, I find, Of memories once-warm with the stranger shared. I turned away. You know how we both fared: An ex-friend when he turns…

You said: "We can be Friend." 🙂 I said: "You're not my friend. You're not my enemy. We can only be stranger. " And You're just surprised when I said that 🙂

After that day, I'm really done with you. Once you left, then never come back and said "We can be Friend" Even if we're friend, I'm sure you can't be my good friend 🙂 cause You can't do what you have said to me.

You said: "Don't remind me of the past." I said: "I don't remind you of the past but even if I do I'm not sad like those 3 days 🙂" And You said: "Without my  presence, right?" I said: "Yup, I'm not who I used to be anymore 🙂 I learned a lot since that day 🙂 You can tell how I treat you by the way I reply to your text and I don't want to see you when you said you want to come to my house." 🙂

Tôi biết ông sẽ quên nên lúc trước những khi tôi nhớ đến ông, tôi cứ nghĩ thế này: “Nhớ ông thì được gì? Ông đang vô tư và vui vẻ. Ông đã không xem trọng tôi vậy tại sao tôi phải nhớ ông?” Cứ nghĩ đến 3 ngày đó, ông đã đối xử với tôi như thế nào là tôi lại có động lực để quên được ông :) Tôi không bắt bản thân mình phải quên ông nhưng cứ nghĩ đến ông đối xử với tôi như thế nào và cái cách ông bỏ tôi đi như thế nào thì càng làm tôi có động lực từ bỏ hơn.  

Vẫn còn có người đối xử tốt với tôi mà nên không vì vậy mà tôi tiêu cực hơn đâu :) Tôi đã nhận ra được nhiều thứ lắm kể từ cái ngày hôm đó :) 

Phải, tôi vẫn có thể sống tốt và vui vẻ khi không có sự tồn tại của ông đấy :)   Và tôi cũng biết yêu bản thân mình nhiều hơn rồi :)

Forse la parte peggiore è quando non si resta amici. Non si diventa nemici. Ma solo estranei con qualche ricordo in comune.
