The case of the un-missing cellphone case

I have a cellphone case. It's a red velcet case with black pull out strings. I got it from a friend I used to consider really, really special to me (now I wish him dead.. just kidding). That cellphone case hase been with me for a year already. It was quite a surprise when he gave it to me because he has the exact same thing. He tool my other cellphone case (it was blue... forgot where I got it) and replaced it with the red one like  his. He said he got it for me because he wanted to share something with me. I thought it was kind of sweet really. It's like "aww.. they both have the same cellphone case.." something people would say when we're together. Now I no longer see that friend of mine. I have no idea where he is, who he is right now, or what he's doing. And I don't think I seem to care anymore. But the cellphone case is still with me. I kept it even after we stopped talking to each other. The cellphone case isn't the only item I have that reminds me of him. I still have a few things I lost somewhere at home. But of course, my cellphone is what I always have with me, and the red case would also go with it.

I never really saw it as something that reminds me of that guy. It is what it is, just a cellphone case. But why did I say it's unmissing? Because everytime that I think I've seemed to have lost my cellphone case, I am still able to get it back. For some reason, I find it at someone's table, by the corner on the floor (I always lose it that way), or  someone found it for me. It finds its way back to me for some reason. It happened before when I thought I finally lost it for good, I thought "well, there gose my remembrance from carlo.." I heave a sigh and move on. Okay, maybe it does remind me of him. It's like it screams his name to me. But there are no more memories of him... well there maybe some but I barely think about it. Right now when I think about him, it's just... blank.  Yeah I guess I've moved on but the cellphone case is still with me.

I've lost the guy and the feeling... but I wonder if I'll ever lose the cellphone case.
