I see you never.

Sometimes people leave without realizing that they will never see you again. And sometimes you leave someone without realizing that you\’ll never talk or hear them again. Sometimes.

That has been bothering me the last few weeks. During the commencement ceremonies, I realized that the majority of the people I had met this semester…I would never see them again. The acquaintances I had met…we would not come into contact again. And that hit me as at David\’s grad party. David. You have to reach a certain level of friendship where you feel comfortable going out of the way for someone. You wouldn\’t drive to someone\’s place who lived out of your way. Nor would you ask someone to travel to your place if you only talked to them once. It\’s just uncomfortable. Which brings me back to…I see you never.

In high school, I knew that I would not see the majority of the people again. I didn\’t care anyway. And despite all the \”I hope to see you around!\” lines in the yearbook…I didn\’t see a single person.

And so David. I will never see you again. And there are some people I have been around with…that I would have to give my last goodbye.

Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

  1. Thought I should comment. Hi. :) It\’s a small world, Jenn. If it\’s meant to be then it will be. Recently, I\’ve been seeing some people that I thought I would never see again. Things happen when you least expect. :)

  2. my roommate\’s bf dumped her or whatever the other night because he couldnt say goodbye when the end of the school year comes around.

  3. I disagree Tram. Sure there are people you may run into from time to time, but does it really mean that they want to keep in touch with you? It bothers me sometimes that this KIT is not mutual. And the moment they disappear, you feel that you don\’t have a gaping hole after all.

    It\’s more of high school. I sort of knew that I wouldn\’t see the majority of the people again. The guy who swore underneath his breath every 10 seconds during graduation. The girl who had a snotty look throughout high school. The girl who wrote superficial comments in my yearbook. Perhaps, I miss the normality of it all…but I don\’t want to see them again nor will they want to see me. And in the back of our minds, we know that we will just drift away…and if we do see each other, we\’ll superficially call each other friends just because of that high school connection.

    Ah, but I digress. Those who want to keep in touch…I think…are the true friends.

  4. I sense you are very devoted to your friends, Jenn. :) They say true friends are hard to find and not everyone says what they mean. \”KIT\” is an expression that is nice to say. It wouldn\’t be nice to say \”don\’t KIT\” and would you tolerate it? :) I\’d say that friendship is tested by distance. Distance tells you how strong your friendship is. Just be glad that you know more about your relationship. I know, sometimes we can\’t help but ask why. And am I making any sense? I don\’t know. :)
