It was almost six in the morning when I realized that I was sitting for over 10 hours at the same table in the back of the bar. I still had half of beer and a bottle of Unicum in front of me and a quite exhausted waitress just brought me a strong coffee. I wasn’t tired or drunk, if that really matters. I was just amazed that answers have been found to some of my questions. The bar was empty for some hours now and the conversation with one of my good friends was still continuing.
I can name more than 20 people that stood with me at that table and of course at some point went home as any normal person would do. They were friends that I haven’t seen in a while and I was really looking forward to have a nice talk with them, to find what is new in their life. A couple of years ago they were my best friends and I couldn’t imagine the world without them. But things do change and most of all, people change. I’m not the same guy that I was 2 or 3 years ago, a lot of things happened since then. But, you still hope that things would remain the same as you leave them.
I was utterly disappointed in the beginning of the night, people came, people went away and instead of feeling glad about seeing them again, sadness just filled my chest. I felt that all I had, all the good memories were slowly slipping through my fingers. I started the night having an old imagine of my friends in my head and after some hours I was a stranger amongst them.
The answers came from the person that I was expecting the least. After a couple of stories and drinks I realized that this kind of things happened also to others and the moments we love the most are the first to go. I mustn’t get stuck in a particular period of my life and change is the only constant I can rely on. The first sunrays filled the lonely bar and I suddenly realized that I just have to modify my perspective. It was time for me to grow up!
