I was browsing through a backup of an old computer that ran Pidgin and had chat logging on. One of the last AIM messages I ever received went like this:
Conversation at Mon Jan 15 01:16:36 2007
(01:16:36) Megan: omg it's ryan.
(01:17:41) Megan: and then in time...
(01:17:53) Megan: the friends faded away
(01:18:14) Megan: and the instanst IMs that'd open were deleted
(01:18:28) Megan: and responses never came
(01:18:39) Megan: and then never even talked anymore
(01:18:50) Megan: and then hadn't hung out in forever
(01:19:02) Megan: ...but it was ok.
(01:19:09) Megan: because that is life.
(01:19:28) Megan: and she was thankful for the past they had,
(01:19:38) Megan: even if there was no present.
(02:31:57) Megan has signed off.
