No Time for Old Time’s Sake

One of my old friends sent me this series of MSN messages:

> some update from yesterday gathering
> XXX will be tying the knot next year, finally saw her soon-to-be pilot bf
> XXX will be ROM this July
> that’s abt it. hope next gathering u can attend

I don’t know whether to be happy or sad that my friend had bothered to send me those updates and suddenly I feel bad that I haven’t been able to spend time with them… These are old old friends, people whom I have know for close to 10 years.

I know we all need to move on, but moving on just doesn’t feel right when the past comes to bite you in the behind, and you realize you have left people you care about behind.
