I don’t know when we began to have less contact. Our chat also moved from the chat box to the circle of friends, then looked at it, and then brushed it calmly until we finally had nothing to say from the initial nothing to the present nothing to say.
The article comes from the WeChat official account: one person listens.
Dear old friends, maybe we don’t have much contact now, but please believe I’ve never forgotten you. If you can meet at a street corner many years later, I hope you can recognize me at a glance. I used to be my best friend.
Polite greetings
01
Today, when I was brushing the circle of friends, I suddenly saw the news of a junior high school classmate getting married. In the photo, he became a lot more handsome, not like the big fool in junior high school at all. And he is one of the best partners I played in junior high school.
We have a dormitory. We have to go back together after class, eat and play ball together, and even go to the bathroom. We said we would be good brothers for a lifetime, but in high school and college, we all went to different places and schools, and gradually had less contact. Until today, my good brother got married, but I didn’t know.
I sent him a “happy wedding” message. I didn’t receive a “thank you” until just now. I wanted to say something more, but I didn’t know where to start and what to say. It seems that there are only some polite greetings left.
Pass by
02
Along the way, we met many people, some of whom passed by when they became partners, while others passed by when they became partners.
The childhood sweetheart who quarreled over who should be the father and who should be the mother; The little sister who dances rubber bands with you and puts on makeup for the doll; The troublemaker who plays marbles with you and secretly pulls the girl’s hair. Do you remember these people in those years? Do you still have contact?
Time goes on and people go in all directions. Maybe some people just walk away. We always grow up in thinking, grow up in habit and forget in habit. Just like when I first went to college, I always miss my high school classmates, but I also met new classmates and new friends while I miss them, and those old classmates we miss also have new companionship.
Some people accompany her to class instead of us, some people eat with her instead of us, and some people talk gossip with her instead of us, watch Korean dramas, laugh and cry together. Her circle of friends is no longer a lonely selfie and sad words. Gradually, there are group photos of eating, singing and watching movies together, just like the group photos of eating, singing and watching movies together. But now, we don’t know the people and places in the photos, and the comments are gradually less, until there is only an occasional love.
At the same time, we are also busy shuttling around in the new environment, taking the postgraduate entrance examination, or playing games with new friends. Every night is no longer holding a mobile phone to chat with old classmates, and no longer need to ask you how you are doing and how you are doing. After all, your circle of friends has explained everything.
I don’t know when we began to have less contact. Our chat also moved from the chat box to the circle of friends, then looked at it, and then brushed it calmly until we finally had nothing to say from the initial nothing to the present nothing to say.
It dispersed as we walked
03
Adults often say that old classmates should keep in touch. You still have contact with junior high school classmates. What’s the one who used to come to our house to play now. Sorry, I really can’t answer some questions, because we haven’t been in touch for a long time. I don’t know whether I’m too ruthless or time is too meaningless. In short, we are drifting away in the torrent of time.
Friendship may be a phased product, and some people are destined to accompany us only for a period of time. Just like when I studied in Spain, I also met many friends who played very well, but then I returned home and they stayed there. In this way, we seem to be people in two completely different worlds. I said we should prepare for the final exam tomorrow, and he said he was preparing for the Christmas holiday.
When the stage of our common life is over, we move towards a new beginning, have a new environment, new friends, and perhaps the feelings we once had are fading quietly. We chat less and less, and our chat words are shorter and shorter. You have your new world and I have my new life.
Occasionally in the circle of friends to see the dynamics of old friends, think of our crazy days together, want to talk a few words, but don’t know where to start. After all, for a long time, sometimes I really don’t know what to say, and what else belongs to our common topic. After all, the memory will gradually fade until the last sentence is “really, I don’t remember”.
Young and frivolous
04
Indeed, time has changed our appearance, but it has also lengthened our distance. Fortunately, my young frivolous has your participation, and your love is accompanied by me.
Dear old friends, maybe we don’t have much contact now, but please believe I’ve never forgotten you. The songs and laughter you have brought me will still emerge one after another when I revisit my hometown. The future that I can’t participate with you will still bless silently in the distance.
If you can meet at a street corner many years later, I hope you can recognize me at a glance. I used to be my best friend. （
