Past to Present

Isn't it crazy when someone from your past comes back?

Maybe it's been years since you've last talked.

Maybe only a few months.

And then there's a rush of emotions.

Happiness, sadness, nostalgia, confusion, and regret mixing together.

Maybe you started forgetting the little things about the person but then it all comes rushing back.

And then you wonder if you should start talking to them again.

Or at least, that's how it was for me.

Two years.

That's how long it's been since I last talked to you.

But the other day, you suddenly texted me.

And we started talking again.

I felt a rush of affection for the little things you do.

I had started to forget the emoji you used the most, the way you worded your sentences, and how. . .easy it used to be to just joke around with you.

And I stared at my phone realising. . .

I missed you.

I never let myself think of you when I left.

I still saw you around but we never spoke.

Then after we spent an afternoon texting and teasing each other, I realised how much I missed the little things about you.

And I know you'll never see this, but I'm sorry.

For when I left.

It wasn't your fault.

Anyway, isn't it crazy how much and how little someone can change in a couple years?
