i am literally having this deja vu feeling again. this feeling of empty. it is 2.30 in the morning now. these few days were a bit hard for me. it somehow looks balanced on the outside with such cheerful and bright smile but on the inner side im feeling quite empty. it is almost midterm week and the atmosphere in harry’s place is very much quiet. he is working very hard for it. these few days, when he is absent, my mind has this rare pocket of time to wander quite far away. further than what i thought. sometimes i am really happy that he might be transferring to Melbourne soon while sometimes i am quite devastated and heartbroken with this OMG fact. but i never once think that i should ask him not to leave. he once told me, i am the reason why he is smiling more these days. let’s put how true is it aside, but at that time it really did touched my heart. let’s think of this Melbourne thing in a more rationale way. i am definitely somebody in his life for now but absolutely a nobody to stop him from pursuing his dream. i will never want to say stay back for me because to me this is so selfish. he once did it for me and i will never want him to lose this chance again. but thinking of the future when he is no longer one call away freaks me out. most of the times, when he is here with me, he make all the tough decisions. however, i doubt myself being in a LDR. i need my boyf to be physically present when i need. just these few days when he is quite busy, i am very much distracted by so many things – friends, some bees, work, sleeps and etc. i wonder if i am ready to be attached because most of the times im quite afraid of commitments. but that is another story for another time. At this moment, all i know is i miss him and his presence.
ultimately, i always ask myself why is it Australia again, why is it Melbourne again; this place where i have heard of it so many times and have never once been there. but this is also one of the many places which took away some of my happiness.
many years back, it was the past tense romeo. back then when i was still so in love with him, i felt so heartbroken when he sent me the last text before leaving. it was new year again and i could hardly stop myself from sobbing out loud. after so many years, i still remember the whole scene that took place while he was in the waiting hall and i was at home. i once asked him, did your family cry? he answered calmly, no, please don’t cry because i will be back again. quite long i said, just in a while for coffee again he last replied. few days before his flight, he sent a close friend of mine to me. she passed me a new concert album of Jay chou and said it was his gift for you to compensate the pain you’ve gone through. i smiled very weakly because all these things can never compensate anything. the album is very much worn out now but it still values so much to me. don’t ask me, if i still love him.
the second was waiyin, it was a bit hard to see him leave but he promised to be back 5 months later and he did kept his promises. nothing much has changed him. the last time when i saw him, he is still like how he is, still very competitive over Ds and HDs, still very much generous over bills, still very much evil with his jokes and teases, still very much of an ipoh kid in the heart. perhaps, the only thing that he has changed – fashion sense. he is skillfully dressed now.
this person who went later on was wenzhee. her pseudonym back then was mosquito but by now she has changed it to fatty. having to see wenzhee leave is a lot tougher compared to poofter (waiyin’s pseudonym we gave when we were still in sam). not having her presence is hard because she is one of my closest friends in taylors. she is also the only friend i have who actually forgotten to switch off her car lights on rainy days. we used to do lots of stalkings together. until now im still secretly stalking her by reading her blog like once a week, reading her fb statuses about swine, popiah and glass bottles of orange juice, twitter updates and once in a while talking to her through msn. she is quite stubborn as she has not download whatsapp even when i could not stop myself from bugging her. i missed her quite much especially at such situations. besides, i have never once succeed in forcing her to tell me she loves me. sigh
somehow, she came back just 3 months ago for winter break. that time when i saw her, it was a bit of familiarity mixed with some other new feelings. it was still her in some ways and very much not her anymore in many different ways. the only thing that i am very sure she has changed is her alcohol tolerance level. so are you still you?
i never like people going away for a long time, because they evolve and grow too fast. most of the times, at a pace where i can no longer continue to follow.
