I lost touch with one of my BFF's from high school. It was a mistake I promised never to make, but somehow as our separate lives got in the way, it happened regardless of my paved constructions on the road to hell. I belong to one of those classreunionmates websites that help you stalk track your former friends, boyfriends and enemies – you now what I’m talking about. Anyway, I received a message from one today that said, “Tomorrow is Friend X’s 38th Birthday!” And my heart leaped before it looked when I remembered I have only the vaguest notion of where she is. The loss of her in my life, never mind how different we became, makes me sad. This is a consequence of moving across the country and not looking back.
K and I made a pact to move to California together. She made it LA, the last I heard, and I ventured on to the West Coast. But at classreunionmates’s last count she was back in the south, getting ready for her first baby. My membership lapsed while hers was active and now I am the sucker who paid the $30 to lurk in her profile hoping that she rekindles hope to look for me again.
I’m still out here, KK. I miss you and Happy Birthday!
