School Friends

School friends will always be school friends. Any reunion will transpose you to those days, wiping away the years or decades that have passed since. Nothing changes. The status quo remains. The personal equations never change. The fondness, the favourites, the grudges, the competition, the rivalry remain. Never mind the greying hair, deepening wrinkles, growing belly. The heartbreak, the success, the failure of those years resurface in the heart.  The jokes are revisited. The incidents are recalled and subjected to yet another round of laughter. We remain the same boys and girls that we were. Nothing changes. But we like to return to all those feelings and emotions, again and again. Because that is the only one way to return to childhood. Well almost.
