I miss my friends

I miss my friends.

I miss talking to them and having wild laughters. I find it funny that most of my friends and I live in the same city but we hardly see each other. Maybe, it's because we live in one of the largest cities in the Philippines that is why distance is such a problem. Or perhaps, our busy schedules never meet in the middle.

There was a time right after college graduation, that I joined them in an adventure far away from home. The experience was liberating for me having lived for the past 20 years of my life under the watchful eyes of my folks. My friends taught me several things about life, myself and in return I know they also learned something from me: control. Yes, I am a control freak. I just realized that now while writing this.

Today, I saw a dear friend. Not that we agreed to meet, but we happen to be on the same building at the same time. She was with her beau. I'd like to think that I am friends with her boyfriend but it felt different when an outsider is among our friendship circle. Can't talk too much, can't share secrets.

I wish I can see them more often. I miss my friends.
