Desk Job

“I see your face also know you’re not suited for an office job”

A new friend of my mom’s told me this recently and I’ve been reevaluating my profession of choice at the moment. When I took to twitter a dear friend of mine told me the same thing, that she couldn’t believe that I have a desk job. She said that I was so active in school, running around and all, that it was quite hard to believe that I am stuck with a boring desk job.

Well, it’s been two years now and I’m still here in this dingy place. A lot has changed over the years and while I don’t particularly like the changes, there’s nothing I can do about it. people have come and gone and yet I’m still here. I’m beginning to regret making that promise to senpai that so long as they are still here, I will not leave.

About a year and a half ago, my best friend in the office resigned and I became really quiet to the point my boss asked me

“what’s up with you? I haven’t heard your noise lately”

How can I be lively when the only person I talk to is no longer around and the rest of them prefers to talk among themselves because we have a language gap?

But things are different now. While I still hate my job and everything it stands for, i suppose things are more tolerable now. Why you may ask?

Hello from When We Were Young.

Hey, do you recall? The time we both first met?

No? It’s alright.

I don’t remember either. We were still so young after all.

You were a transfer student in our little class during our second year.

We didn’t know each other very well back then.

Sometimes I wonder how on earth did we become so close?

It must be somewhere between all our laughs;

Long talks;

Stupid little fights;

And all those jokes.

Remember those times we went to the moon?

Time went by fast, didn’t it?

We were just kids yesterday;

Saying our first hellos;

We did everything together, almost everything;

From being goofballs in class;

To being goofballs in the exam hall.

I’m thankful that it’s you;

It wouldn’t have been the same if it were somebody else.

I sometimes wonder if it’s thanks to you that I like myself more;

Even the parts I dislike about myself have decreased;

How did you do that?

You are my friend, my best friend;

My soul mate.

You are my one.

And you are amazing.

I want to say this a thousand times;

To repeat this over and over:

Without you, the me right now wouldn’t be here.

It was fate that we met;

It is destiny that we are as we are now;

And for this destiny;

Thank you.

I wish you the best in everything;

You know you were born to fly;

And you will;

And when you do;

You will be magnificent.

Happy birthday, dear.

I love you.

Now come here,

I have a hug waiting for you.
