Something so funny happened yesterday that I felt I had to share it with u.
What started it, I guess was ab's laughter. He laughed and I said, hey I heard that
before. Even as ab kept laughing, I began to think hard, now where did I hear that
laugh?

After a long time, when it still did not flash upon me, I started thinking of all my friends
and recalling whether they laughed like that. One by one, they flashed by, my friends,
finally I thought of u mark, and u know what, I just couldn't remember how u laughed. So
weird, then I began to recall how u talked and even that did not register, shit, then I got
paranoid and began to remember what u looked like and u know what mark, I've
forgotten that as well.

And to think of it, just nine months ago we were walking hand in hand and dreaming of a
future, we held hands for so long that they got sticky and we had to pull them apart.
