tales from an ordinary world

2000-10-02b

I remember that day. We sat by the lake out the back of uni, watching the geese and the grass and the birds, just like all those other times we came out here to talk, and you started talking about your 21st party which was coming up in a year's time, saying how I could help out, and I jokingly said "yeah, if you're still talking to me by then". You seemed so cheerfully cynical about everything else that I didn't count on you taking offence. As it turned out, by the time your 21st came around you'd already left me. So I guess I was right, even if I didn't want to be. Yet another time I should've just shut the hell up instead of saying something. I'm sorry.
