You ever have a moment where you wonder where a certain person is now? Maybe it's someone you went to high school or college with, or someone you worked with once upon a time and now they've moved?
I've got a few of those people I'd like to find. Just because I wonder. I wonder what their lives are like now, if they achieved the things for themselves that they wanted to achieve, or if they went down a completely different road. Are they happy or miserable? And, selfishly, I wonder if they remember me at all, much less as fondly as I remember them.
B is the one I think of most often, mostly because I'd like to tell him he was right. About me, about The Guy, about pretty much everything he ever warned me about. B was one of my favorite supervisors, I learned a lot working for him, both professionally and personally. And we were friends. However, he got taken advantage of by another woman, and he disappeared off the map. Last I heard he was going to Florida, but that was a good fifteen years or so ago.
St's another one. Luckily, I know how to get in touch with him. It's just a chance of working my courage up. But I still think fondly of you, bro.
J's one of the guys I went to high school with, but he was a few years younger than me. By the time I'd gotten back to the school, J was already graduated. I've tried looking him up since, but no dice.
W's the last one I wonder about. We didn't go to school together because he was older than me, but we were on the same bus route, so we rode the same bus every day. We made friends, surprisingly. He was ROTC back in the early 90s, and every Thursday he'd show up in his ROTC uniform, looking all handsome. All the girls went a little drooly over him on uniform days.
So who do you wish you could find again?
