Chattering the minutes away!!!

My phone vibrates, and I unlock it.

"hi", the message on whatsapp said.

I typed back the customary "hello" knowing quite well what was to follow next.

And I was right. "w'ssup?" came though.

"nothing much..listening songs. u say"

"same here.. :)"

" :) "

I stare at the screen knowing the conversation has ended. Still hoping something will pop up on d screen anyway. I think of coming up with something myself. But at the exact same moment the status shifts from "online" to "last seen at". With a sigh, I put my phone away and am left wondering where things went wrong. When was it that everything changed? Inadvertently my mind flops over to the olden times when we used to spend hours texting, talking illogical stuff over the phone. Numerous gossips, hang outs and what not!!!

A quote I had read somewhere flashes across my mind. "Day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different"

Things change. People change. Priorities change. But the space you carve in each others' hearts remains d same. There might be moments when you are left thinking back; wishing for the old days to come back but sooner or later the realization strikes and time once past cannot be reverted back!!!

And so I unlock my phone type in "how’s lyf" and hit send. There is a smile on my face while am doing dat. And then it was 2 hours on nonstop chatting and it was like no time has passed we were back to the good old days, chattering the minutes away!!!
