There are faces that have been long forgotten in a memory that is slowly fading away. Somewhere in between of getting caught up in focusing on what is presently in my life to where my life is going, Time was able to cunningly robbed me of the memories of the past that I once knew so well.
Though the memories of my best friends are forever ingrained in mind, what saddens me is all those other faces that were there in elementary, junior high, and high school that have now become blurs; becoming strangers of which I even question the existence of. People that I had conversations with, saw almost everyday of my youth, and even considered as my friends vanished with almost no trace of evidence left behind to reveal that they were once part of my life.
I understand it’s natural to drift away from people and it’s difficult to remain in communication with everyone you ever met - but I still find it bothersome knowing that I was once part of a persons life that I may not even give a second glance to if I passed them on the street. I wonder what happened to everyone once we all went on our separate ways from being kids to adults now. If they have kids and family now, what jobs they have, to if they are similar to the person I once knew so many years ago. It’s even depressing to think how it’s possible that some of us could of went through unimaginable tribulations or may no longer be here anymore.
It’s like reading the beginnings of the novels of these forgotten faces only to misplace the book and be forever curious how their stories turned out. In a way, i just want to know that everyone is okay.
