List bits and pieces of conversations I overhear (read all 9 entries…)
A conversation heard in my own head... 2 months ago

Going to the same High School
within 2 years of each other does not make familiars
of people at the institution at that plane in time.
.
And then years later, end up working at the same company
doing the same jobs
.
And during those first years
turning to decades
we barely communicated
different centers of operation
and other areas of the same building
.
a grand total of letters of the alphabet
may have passed between us
on communication
during those years
.
As time went on
We may have began to know each other a bit
better
.
The last few 6 whatever
years,
your route has been next to mine
and we have shared friendship
secrets
a some time every workday
during the lunch breaks we shared
when you could come over and meet
.
You’re the lucky one
you started years sooner than I did
and August 29th
was your last day
retired with 30 years of
driving
delivery
service and hard work
tendered
.
I miss our time
shared when
our time planes crossed
.
For even though we shared
common areas
during many years
and decades
we only talked those last
6 or 7 years
and I’m grateful I was able to actually
Know you
after all this time…
.
I could write
a ton here
but it would bore you to sleep
.
But it turns out
you live just miles from me
and with your number
I can keep in touch
.
_And I better…he told me he didn’t
know how long he’d live after retirement
He has been the exception to the rule you see
never married…no kids ever
He had his heart broken, you see?
at age 22 or so
and could never settle down
He saved his money and can live comfortably
but he is a drinker
and can drink me under the table quickly
(I know and I’ve seen)
I love him as a brother
and along with his bad diet
he may be right
so I will make an effort to
keep in touch and remain a friend
