Growing up !! Isn't it fun??

A lot of times, I hear people say, "Oh I wish I could go back to school !!" It's the same emotion each one of these people have; unless they were bullied really bad in school, in which case they wanna go back to some other part of their life. Some just wanna live the toddler life forever. Special mention to the married people who can't get over the time they were bachelors and "free to do whatever they want."

Every time I am having such a conversation, I wonder "Hey you!! Didn't you do it right the first time? Or Did you forget to live the moment when you were there?"

When was the last time you saw him?

"When was the last time you saw him?" Shelly asked her.

There was a look of longing in her eyes when she replied "It has been three days".
"That's not a long time at all, you need to cheer up. 3 days ago is almost like yesterday. People don't get to see each other for decades and they survive"

"Yes, I know but I miss him already. It will be a whole month before I see him again. I don't know if I can wait that long. The last time I saw him he seemed aloof. He was happy but engrossed in his own world. I wonder what he was thinking about.
I asked him what was on his busy mind, but he didn't tell me. This month, I plan on calling him more than I did last month. I want to be more involved in his daily life. Last month I got too busy to talk to him daily and then last week when we met,  I felt like I wasn't a part of his life anymore."

Shelly tried to shake her out of her monologue "I think you are thinking too much. It doesn't matter if you couldn't call him enough last month. He has been so supportive all this while. He is the smartest guy I have met so far. I am sure if you pester him a lot, you will invite more trouble to the relationship than anything else."

She wasn't listening to Shelly at all. Lost in her own thoughts, she was weaving the beautiful dream date for when they meet the next time. She has so much to say to him and so much to ask. "I will call him tonight and we will talk all night" she thought.
