As we were growing up, our contacts became more sporadic. I had found a girlfriend, she had found a boy, university started... but it was actually interesting that once in a while, we always came back at each other. Maybe it was just a message in a year, or an e-mail, but we were still thinking about each other.
In August this year a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to visit Lithuania with him. I caught the opportunity and wrote to the girl - but she was not active on Facebook anymore. I don't know why but I had her phone number, so we set up a meeting. It was amazing.
Last Friday, after 6 months since our last meeting, she came at my house in Italy and we spent a really nice weekend. Now she left again of course and we have such a bittersweet feeling in our mouths. In one year she will be done with her medical studies and I should go abroad for my PhD. It really struck me in an unusual way when I started to imagine going to the same university and maybe living in the same apartment...that would be nice.
Sometimes life is so unpredictable. Who knows what will happen next summer, next year, in 5 years...if someone would have told me ten years ago that she was going to come at my house for a weekend, I would have laughed at him. So who am I to say what will happen next and if our paths will meet again?
