His once high spirits had been crushed, leaving behind chaotic remains of distant memories and good times which his mind couldn't help but visualize every time he would merely blink; and his wandering thoughts would always, without fail, would drift away and ponder what would life would be like had they not grown up, if they hadn't lingered a bit too far away from each other and lost one another forever, if things were simple, like how their childhoods were; he could only wonder.…
