The distance
Today is 元宵节 (Yuan Xiao Jie), the last of fifteen days of Chinese New Year. It is also the Chinese version of the Valentine's Day. I don't think the two are related, but don't trust me. I can be quite ignorant when it comes to tradition stuff like that.
I used to tease Turner, whose name sounds and spells almost the same as the Festival itself, saying that he'd got his own day in his name. We were best of friends, and lovers for a brief period, before we drifted apart.
Strange how his contact is on my chat programs, and his numbers in my cell phone list, but we no longer contact each other. Even as we stay less than 20 mins' ride from each other, his is the longest distance I am away from a friend.
