Submarine Friends

There are certain friends in one's life who are different from what you will consider as normal friends.

In fact, they are quite like submarines.

S is someone whom I know from a very long time ago. I like to think of him as my Yellow Submarine (partly cause his Msn nick has a yellow smiley face on it). Every couple of months, he resurfaces, like a submarine out of the ocean. Casual talking over MSN, few smses here and there.. I cant say I know him but does it really matter? Its just nice to hear about where he has been, countries that I've never been to. Come to think of it, its interesting how different our worlds are and the only link between us is Msn. *shrugs*


Anyway, I'm one of those submarine friends too. On and off, I disappear from my friends lives for a couple of months. When I finally show up at a gathering, people ask: "Where have you been? What have you been doing?". I would answer, with a weak smile, "Busy with work!" Not that I'm really that busy with work, its just because I needed time away from people.

Being with too many people can be very taxing.

Like right now, I'm being a submarine.

Sinking.

Deep into the sea, where the world is silent.

Am i all alone in this universe?
There's no love on these streets.
I've given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway.
