lost and found: dave b!
It's been two and a half years since I last chatted with Dave, my college friend who has migrated to Hawaii. It was my last year in college and Dave and I became good friends just talking about matters of the heart. I liked a different guy then and Dave, along with almost everyone else who knew me didn't understand what I saw in him. Haha. during that time, he was thinking about pursuing someone but he was having doubts since he was leaving. I won't disclose what happened to their story, but I must say it didn't involve such a very happy ending. Mine didn't have one either, but really, I'm glad it didn't. Haha. Or else I wouldn't have noticed what a great man Tatoff is. I can't imagine how the past two years would be like if we didn't end up together. Naks.
Anyway, I tried to keep in touch with Dave but to no avail, he stopped replying any of his closest friends' e-mails and became totally invisible in YM. We just thought he decided to 'forget' his life here so he can move on with ease in the States. Years passed and I really didn't know how to reach him. Even Tatoff, one of his closest friends since high school, didn't know how to reach him or greet him on his birthday. Finally, Jeff, another member of their trio, told me that he 'found' Dave in MySpace. I immediately tried to log in to my old, old account but failed. I couldn't remember my password, and wasn't even sure I have a MySpace or Hi5 account.
Today, while in the middle of creating name studies, I signed up for MySpace just to see if Dave really has a page, and to check if he's still alive. Hehe. I was so happy when the Search results turned up, and felt so overwhelmed finding a long-lost friend.
I value friendships, and although it make time before I trust someone, I assure all these people that they have a true friend in me. Old or new, as long as I remember the ties I've created. I will still be the same person who will laugh, listen and drink with, in good times or in bad.
I know Dave has changed a lot since we last talked. He hasn't replied to my message in his MySpace account, but I'm already happy just knowing that he's still there. It gives me joy just by knowing what he looks like now and what he's up to. Seeing his page full of our old college photos also moved me. I'm an emo friend like that. I believe friendship transcends distance. The memories I keep of the other is what matters. I'm sure Dave still treasures every friend and every moment he spent here in the Philippines. I wouldn't understand why he totally disappeared, but I hope I get an answer straight from him soon, just like old times. :)
