Today

Today in between rain splattered windows,i  saw  a man standing by the road..i was in my car waiting to pick up the mother from work..i knew the man.we went to school together..Never really talked,just the usual hi and bye's..he was standing by some shops..just standing..watching people pass.probably he was waiting for something or someone..And it got me thinking..what was his story...where has he been.where did he go after school?..or where is he goin?..is he studying?,is he working.married?..etc etc..and what ever happened to the rest of the people i used to know..are they ok?..still alive?..long gone?..became successful?..

i had no idea.but i really2 wanted to know though..i wanted to badly  get down and go speak to him..but i doubt he remembers me though..and it was pouring..I remember him as the diminutive figure,a very quiet person.who moved softly,.although not swiftly,but someone who calculated their every single move.as to what move,culminated into what action or consequences..i remember speaking to him once,when we were 16.he spoke in a whisper.almost inaudible like..one had to strain hard to listen to him..But he did not have any airs about him..he replied calmly to every question posed..

But he was a nice person all in all..and when i saw him today,i really did want to speak to him again.but he looked rather confident now.standing poised for what the world could throw at him..unlike the meek teenager he was back then..i silently wished him well..and hoped to see him and the others sometime again,in this lifetime..Probably one day,down the road..
