I just had a good conversation with someone whom i've drifted away from, emotionally... and i must say, the ambience was great, though it was kinda weird. Ok, some of you might have just lost me there. What i mean was we were on top of a spider web thing, just talking like the old times, the breeze was cool on the skin especially after a jog and the view was spectacular.
We were just perched up there, for almost 2 hours, talking about life, friends, etc... basically what we've not discussed for eons. Or rather, i don't remember having such a meaningful conversation with him......
In the midst of talking, this little boy came to the top and you people out there who know me well, know that i hate kids... so i was starting to get annoyed with him. I mean he was cute but it's just me to have this thing against kids. My friend on the other hand, adores kids... so he was having this little talk with the boy, Ryan. I was just staring into space but i decided to give that kid a chance. I wasn't looking at them but my ears were definitely attentive. For a 6 year old boy, he was really daring, to talk to a complete stranger. I even heard him telling his little cousin that we were "adults". And i must say, he could speak well. Articulating every word, accurately... I hate to admit this, but after hearing their conversation for 30 mins, i actually liked that little boy... He wasn't as irritating and annoying as the majority of the kids population out there.
My friend then asked me, " Do you know why i like kids? It's because they don't lie."
That, really hit me hard. I mean, sure.... kids will definitely lose their innocence just like how we lost ours... but at the tender age of 6, when they're still in kindergarten, they speak from their heart. No qualms about what they say... Something that i can never experience, ever again. I finally realised how pure these little kids are. And thanks to my friend, i'm beginning to change my perception towards kids...
You won't find be going gaga over them, but i'll definitely try to appreciate their presence on Earth. I mean who can be any more innocent and purer than them? They don't lead complicated lives like us. They don't have to worry about things that we face in our everyday lives. They're so carefree!
I'll like to thank you, for having this excellent conversation with me this afternoon, though i know you won't be reading this. You've made me realise that kids can actually be lovable; a fact that i never thought i'd be able to accept. I'm glad i had your companion today because i'm feeling really great!! I figured that you'll never know how much your presence means to me, how much impact you can make on my life, or how much i treasure this friendship of ours.
Well, i don't know when we'll meet again or if we'll ever have this kinda meaningful conversation ever again... Just wanna tell you that i love you alot, and nothing would be able to change that fact. Nothing at all.
