old times

last night I had dinner with two of my old college friends somewhere in greenbelt. Although I occasionally see one of them, it had been years since I last saw my other friend. He got married last year but I wasn't able to attend his wedding due to unavoidable circumstances. And my, my! Did he look so manly now. It was really nice to catch up on things and reminisce on our youth-- back when we were all carefree and life was just simple. Now we were all grown up living separate lives, preoccupied with work and burden with other responsibilities. I have noticed that we have gone mature on our outlook on life. We discussed our careers, our family lives. We reflected on the things that matter now, unlike before when we were only concerned about getting good grades and having fun. It's realy nice to keep your old friends because they make you stay young-- young at heart at least. The three of us wish we can get together more often. One more thing, as I look back now, I felt a little pang in my heart. Seeing my old friends made me want to turn back time. It's like wanting to be young again-- and carefree. If only life were so simple...
