strange meetings
It’s been a while… After 20 years of no contact, a mysterious old friend has come back into my aunt’s life. She seems so utterly excited about him; it’s as if she is the teenage girl that I can remember watching MTV with all those years ago. Does anyone remember “Friday night video fights”?
While listening to my aunt tell me about this gentleman, I just have to shake my head in disbelief on what she finds appealing. However, when you have had your deadbeat boyfriend live off of you for the past 12 years, anyone sounds better. Their dinner sounded promising & the way she obsessed forever about the way they exchanged numbers, she just might finally kick that bastard boyfriend out of her house.
I cannot help but wonder if something similar happens to all of us? 10, 20 years from now will someone from my past come back for me? I guess a boy could only hope. Here’s to you, my girl of the future from the past.
I’ve never felt so hopeful.
