Old faces, New feelings

Today, I met with an old acquaintance. Although we really haven't known each other for that long, I couldn't help to feel that it has been ages since I last saw or spoke to her. I was longing to ask for her forgiveness, but I know things were too complicated for either one of us to take the initiative.

She once appeared in my life when I was at my most vulnerable state. Thinking back right now, I really have to thank her for leading me out of the darkness. When I saw her today, I couldn't help having a new sensation like when both strangers are meeting for the first time. Our flow of conversation went by smoothly, but afterwards my mind just progresses and her image fades away inertly.

I guess a lot has happened in between. Serendipitously, the day was accurately predicted by my daily horoscope:

"When times are tough, or at least tricky, the universe often sends hints your way, via coincidental circumstances, vivid or recurring dreams or the appearance or reappearance of someone whose presence makes you feel a certain way. It's up to you now to figure out what those coincidences and dreams are all about. You know you can do it. If anyone is an expert at unraveling such things for others, it's you. Do it for yourself now."

It's funny how a beacon of hope can burn out so easily. Life is never certain.
