#592 - A Strange Reminder

20120119 @ Thursday, January 19, 2012

Something reminded me of you today. I remember when we used to spend almost everyday together, playing video games especially, I would lose almost every 2 player game we played together, and even if I won you would claim that you let me me win. And when we played one player games, you’d get so impatient watching me play cause I just suck. When our parents would buy junk food for us at the rest stops during our road trips, we always promise to share but we end up fighting for the pack anyway. And when we used to draw each other birthday cards even though we didn’t even know when our birthdays were.

I lost you. You were like a twin brother I never had. You just left me. Just like that. One minute, we’re playing with sand on the beach, the next, you’re gone. Gone.

Every time I think of you, I can’t help but cry. I miss you. Although we were so young, you still meant a lot to me. Oh, remember once we hid under the beds on one of our trips and our parents and siblings went around looking for us? And they found us, laughing under the beds. Remember when we used to beg for coins for those egg machines? We’d end up losing the toys the next day anyway. Remember when we fought for the Garfield plush in the fun fair? Daddy had to play the game over and over again just to win another one so we’d both have one. I had a dream about our trip that day, the day you left. Scratch that, it wasn’t a dream, it was a nightmare.
