Hi, how are you?
Are you doing fine without me?
Are you still mischievous as ever?
That with just a laughing emoji,
Our conversation is always merry.
It was one of my gloomy days,
When we met with the use of messenger.
I randomly joined a noisy group chat,
On which you are in.
The people were naughty, but it was somehow funny.
Then, there came a message,
A request coming from you.
I ignored it, thinking you're crazy.
You texted, wanting to get to know me,
And why I was known,
As a 'cute seener' in the group.
So, at some point, I explained you why, and we got close.
You lived so far away from me,
So far that I wondered how things would work out.
But anyways, you made me realize,
That distance was nothing.
Glad, we once used to chat all day long,
Together with the people on the group chat.
Teasing each other, talking about life.
Giving advices, to those who are down.
Early months passed, school started again.
New classmates, another new beginning.
We're still chatting, haven't met for real.
It doesn't matter, if it's our friendship
We're maintaining.
Not long after that,
My family got an invitation.
It was from my auntie, saying,
To attend her twins' christening.
I then realized, the place is where you lived
And the church is where you're serving.
Expecting, I smiled shyly,
Mind filled with curiosity
Thinking of things that would unfold,
Because for the first time,
We'll meet in reality.
The day of it came,
With my eyes roaming around,
To look for you who wears white.
But when I saw you, it went on the ground.
Both of us smiled at each other,
Embarrassed, of what we looked like.
You showed me your infamous grin,
That I can only see in pictures.
Yet nothing lasts forever,
So we parted ways again.
Beep! goes my phone, receiving a message.
We talked about the meeting,
And you made fun of me.
But then, fate decided to cut the crap.
We became awkward, and that made me cry.
The usual 'Hi' and 'Hello' turned into nothing,
And that, ruined everything.
So, please, tell me.
Did you regret leaving me?
Have you ever considered me as a friend?
A close/best friend for that matter?
Answer my questions.
Because me, I still do.
I'm dying to know why,
Why you left me without saying goodbye.
Am I someone you chatted because of boredom?
Well I guess you having a girlfriend was part of it,
And me a stranger you just talked with.
