forgotten

there are people that i have met that i have loved, thought they were amazing, connected with. and i don't know them anymore.

i am up late tonight, missing my girlfriend and our puppy. and apparently that has triggered insomnia in me. so after cleaning the freezer and the food pantry, i started wandering around on the internet. i logged on the myspace, which i very rarely ever log on to anymore. i browsed people's pages. i read some old messages. there are people that i think are great. that i used to hang out with and have fun times, interesting conversations, meaningful moments, and such. i don't see these people anymore. i don't even know them. i'd like to reconnect somehow, but feel too weird/silly to message them now. so many years later, and somewhat forgotten for a while, but i realize i miss them. and i wonder if i am missed by any of them. i am happy for those moments. and i will let them live where they lived and not try to rekindle anything. because things like that should be effortless. connections shouldn't take prompting. they should just spark and ignite and burn. and when they burn out, they are gone. but the fire was brilliant while it lasted.
