It was like looking at a stranger. I tried my best to map the person standing in front of me to the person I once knew years back. The face of the person I knew always had a sheepish smile pasted on it, it now seemed etched with lines of worries. They had similar eyes, but the eyes that were once bright and full of laughter, looked tired. Lonely and tired.
After what seemed like a lifetime, I mustered up enough courage to go and say hello. I would have gone the moment that I saw him, but something stopped me. It wasn't as if he would really recognize me. And even if he did, what would I say? I questioned myself if it alright for me to have come here. If it was alright to bring back memories from the past. But I had to meet him just this once. Just once so I could finally bring a closure to that incomplete story from many year back.
