Just Try and Understand...

Hello there friend, have you missed me? No? Well I’ve certainly missed you. Don’t you remember our times together old boy? No?

      Oh, I see, you don’t want to remember, is that it? Oh, have I snapped a cord inside of that ingenious mind of yours? Must I tell stories of our past, for your memories to trickle back inside of that brain of yours? Why do you resist! Our time was filled with fame and glory! Maybe not the kind you intended, but fame nonetheless. Your name is known across every sea, ocean, and landmass known to man.

            So why do you insist that the fretful emotions remorse and regret lay topside in your conscience. I say, you let you emotions rule you as if you some petulant little girl who has lost her doll. Ironically so, I can feel myself starting to reminisce of our adventures together. Maybe these scenes will awaken the stupor from which you’ve placed yourself in. I seek to fill you with joyous moments and thrills of our past. Hmmm, do you recall the young boy in Gambia or the little girl in Taiwan?

      Or, maybe perhaps you remember the young gentleman in Berlin or the woman in Sydney. Still feigning memory loss, dear old chap? Much to your chagrin I…..Well look at you! You never fail to astonish me. Attempting to ignore me now I see?

             Then you’re a fool, a mindless fool I tell you! You can’t ignore me! I will make you endure and understand, even if it takes me days, months, years, or all of eternity. Your walls will break, and break they will, for I shall get to you. You should know my patience never wears thin my friend. I know you choose to only hear my words, but trust me on all things worldly I will make you listen. I can and will prevail; you couldn’t stop me even if you tried. Now open your mind and let me delve inside so I can expose your mind to what you truly are. You cannot hide so please do stop trying. Hmmm, seems I’ve got myself all riled up. Sorry my friend for my most uncalled for outburst. You know how my temper can be right? Yes, yes you do know. This situation deems quite comical, if I do say so myself. You know me blabbering nonsense and of course you, the one who tries to place a false façade of indifference. I really do enjoy these …

            Oh, what was that? You question my sanity? If anything I’m as sane as you. O! down boy! Don’t get so angry to the point of growling. No need to act so feral. Are your hackles rising? Am I grinding your gears? Does it surprise you that I’m chuckling, dear boy? I haven’t laughed like this old friend since our escapades in Toronto. The looks upon the civilians faces, what a sight to see.

 

            I say my friend, I remember you beginning to enjoy it. Huh? You don’t want to talk about it? This game is starting to get old you know? What? You want me to leave? I think not, not until you realize what you did wasn’t shameful in the least. Let me elaborate for you, in a way that won’t irritate me and thus further upset you. Did you catch that,  my sarcasm? For you see that situation would be impossible really. Do you see this, I’m laughing at you. Yes, yes I am, sorry I just thought it would lift the mood a bit. Sort of reminds me of the incident in Tokyo or our lollygagging in Estonia. Wait! Do you remember our roundabouts in Mongolia? You don’t, you say? I dare to disagree, you simply pretend as if it has not happened.

   Why do you even try? Why is it that you want to forget? It’s not like we’ve done anything bad. Stop, Stop, Quiet down! That exaggerated use of expletives will get you nowhere. You know at first I believed you were truly lost to me. Now it seems it only took a small bit of prying you open. That’s it, isn’t it? Your opening up to me! Wow, so you did miss me? Truly my friend this honestly warms my heart…
