An old flame

[An old post - January '09]

You're working really hard on your paper/ assignment/ office work/ etc... you then decide to take a break because you've been at the same line for the past 13 minutes. You check your emails - nothing new. You suddenly feel nostalgic and thoughts of an old flame come to mind. You search your emails and come across old correspondences between the both of you. You click on the email and read it slowly, word by word, and absorb everything that's been said. A slight smile, sometimes a teary eye follows... oh those were good times. An old flame, a relationship so perfect that it was too good to be true. A love so strong, an unbreakable bond, uncomparable chemistry, the enjoyment of each other's company, especially when no words were spoken, the delight of heated conversations bordering on arguments and seeing the funny and often silly side of things, the common interests yet the presense of individuality, the utter respect for each other, the emotionally intertwined relationship to last a lifetime, the love, the love so so strong... oh how you never achieved your potential...

Reminiscing an old flame...still burning, ever so brightly.
