Well I've grown quite a bit since then... I've learnt a few things but theres still some absurd mysteries I haven't yet figured out... well I guess time will tell but I guess somethings are better off unknown .... perhaps forgotten ... His words still echo in my head,"Have you forgotten me?" I know his part of my past but his voice and appearance is all a blur, do we really know each other??? It scares me because I have no memory of him, is he lying to me... or did I just erase him from my memory ...Why though, every one seems to remember but me ... " I hate being this confused!!"
I feel, like my thoughts are shriveled up like a dry leave in the summer heat so dry and brittle ... Either way perhaps its erased for a good reason ...
Its now 2025 , im turning 25 in two months time ...Am I exited??
Partly yes but the older I get the more the responsibilities begin to pile up... Now that im older and more mature im beginning to understand my life better, my garden has grown quite alot... I've reaped alot but lost alot to... Im beginning to understand alot but im not at peace with my heart , why does the past still hurt??? Why am I brittle??? I myself dont know...I've been struggling to sleep lately, the same dream ... A thick book buried deep in the ground next to the tree from the park in the neighborhood I grew up in, I keep trying to reach it but somethings, pushing me back as though I shouldn't ...
After the awakening of my boggled mind, I thought perhaps I should go pay a visit to that old park ...
Well what harm could it do, so as soon as I was done getting ready, I took my car keys and hoped onto the front seat.... The joys of having your own car!!! I remember growing up all the cars my parents used would always break down, and we literally started our day by pushing the car so it could start ... so its really a relief that I dont have to go through that now...
I finally arrived in Val de Grace the neighborhood I grew up in, it still looked the same surprisingly, the park looked different with all the new rides but it was still as empty as I had remembered it from the past ...I walk around trying to identify this tree,"Aaaaa!!!Chincha!!! Im leaving!!" I start walking to my car when an anonymous voice stops me ... "Tola, haven't you ever heard of greeting??" Huh... I turn around feeling confused wondering weather I know this person and feeling quite embarrassed for not having greeted. But hey you can't blame I was on another mission. I stopped and greeted and started walking back wondering weather I should have asked how he knew my name. It was to late for that now I was already opening my car door ...
"Hey,you can't let me swing on my own!!" I get a fright and start looking at my watch as the person waits for a reply. "Am sorry im going to be late for my lecture," I said,hoping it was believable."You liar, so not only do you not greet but you lie too,girl I know your lecture only starts at 10:30."
Things just got creepy, "How do you know that??" I asked... "So I was right... just come swing with me for old times sake atleast ...huh." So I decide to go sit on the swing that was open on the far end leaving one in between us, I was just trying to insure my safty...
