… That someone turns around, turns her back on you, and turns your world upside down.
I don’t get reminded of this person often. Sometimes, maybe. It probably helps that I don’t see her anymore. It probably helps to say that she’s history. Used to be a part of my life.
Not like that.
Friends only, nothing more. But the character flaw of a person like me is the constant setting of expectations — however unwitting and involuntary – for my closest friends.
(And how swiftly I write them off if they ever let me down in a major way)
In this case, it was for this person to be a faithful friend.
This person failed me.
Well, that should have been over and done with. It’s just that…
… when I saw that clipping from an old comic book (with Dawnstar and Wildfire, my two favorite members of the Legion of Superheroes), it reminded me of this friend I had.
And how I’d been safe and secure in believing that she would always be there. How she’d always be a person I’d know deeply for the rest of my life.
And how I’d been sorely mistaken. How I woke up one day and realized that all of the sudden, I don’t know this person anymore.
Sucks to be hit by something you don’t see coming.
Pero wala lang.
Just an accidental reminder.
That’s how life is. Once in a while, it comes about without warning and kicks you on the face.
But that’s fine. Just an old scar that sometimes hurts with it’s cold. No biggie.
