Blast From My Past

Or is it my present?

I stopped thinking about you LONG time ago. The many times I saw you on the highway as I was heading home was just one of my hallucinations. Why would it be different this time? Here I am, miles away from home; in a place where Kuwaitis come to inexistence. I knew I was imagining seeing you again but your smile proved me wrong. This time, it was for real. It didn’t matter anymore that I was walking in the rain feeling cold all by myself. Your smile warmed me up. I stopped; there in the middle of the busy narrow street staring at you. People pushed me as they kept walking, but I kept still. You waved at me and walked away. Two steps I took thinking I’m hallucinating again. I stopped, turned back to see you standing there looking back at me. It’s you. I wanted to scream your name out loud but was unable to. You kept smiling and then walked away. I smiled, zipped up my jacket and started walking again. Right then, my Ipod decided to play one of your favorite songs. I guess Shuffle mode knew I’d seen you. I looked back one more time but you were gone among the crowd. I still wonder what were you doing there at that time!

My vacation was very short but interesting. I was planning to write my travel log and post some pictures. Now, I don’t really feel like it. I don’t even feel like proofreading this post. Maybe next time.

Listening to THIS!!

    In solitude come thoughts from the past that may seem pleasant when in actuality they’re detrimental to emotional well being and even happiness. I say try to avoid walking around alone. You’ll see the hallucinations dissipate with time inshalla.
