I guess I will go back to after I meet him. Months passed and I never saw a glance of him but at times I did wonder. I wasn't sure why this stranger was so easy to wonder about and it scaring me only made me more curious. I knew he had to be real but it had seemed such a moment in time it was easy to wonder if I might have dreamed it.
My friend, she one day said to me and other friends, “I will be bringing someone to lunch with us, and most people are afraid of him, but don’t be.” This seemed strange. I have never been afraid of anyone. I rarely grasped the concept of real fear. I just said okay while everyone else asked questions. As she described him, I questioned, “Wait, do you mean,” I asked if it was him by the name I knew. It was him no doubt. He was far from scary. He was real and I would finally get to see him again.
Lunch came and we all went to the familiar Chinese Restaurant downtown. They served a buffet at lunch and this was one of those rare days all of us did not have a college class at this time. When her and her boyfriend came in, he wasn't with her. She said he had changed his mind. I was dismayed. I spent the entire time laughing, talking and joking with everyone while I was really only thinking about him. A ghost that had reappeared deserved thought. And thinking I did.
When we got back up to the college I didn't get to see him there either. I was wondering if I would ever get to.
Sincerely,
Your Fan
