I miss talking to people. I am not referring to those everyday conversations which take place everywhere in the world. No... I am referring to really talking to somebody. Those long conversations you can have with somebody during a walk or in the living room or in the kitchen or during a cup of coffee or warm tea, just the way you like it, or even when it's really late at night and the rest of the world is fast asleep.
During those you get to know the other person along all those random things regarding them. You see a side of people that most are not able to face or realize and for that you consider yourself lucky. You realize how rare such moments in life are and how much you miss them.
I wonder what has happened to those conversations and where everybody has gone. I believe in our days, people have found other means of communicating than the old ways of doing so. No more letters are being exchanged, no more meeting for a short moment on the street to say a hello or a goodbye and move on or even spare some time to exchange a few more words. People have become strangers and they pass by others without even noticing the little things, those smiles others can offer and which can make up your own day to begin with.
Those were the rare moments of life and the times worth of our free time, no matter how limited that was. Truth be told, everybody in this world needs one of those long conversations. They do not need to have a reason to begin or a specific result. On the contrary, sometimes, it is possible to sit next to somebody, a friend or a stranger, and walk away later knowing that this was the best talk ever!
