Remains of a Conversation

Once while having dinner on my own at a hawker centre, two elderly men joined me and shared the table. They started telling tales of their lives; from what they've learned all these while to challenging what I thought was good food. It's amazing to be given the chance to catch a glimpse of their lives. I remember walking away to order more food and returned later to an empty table. This was all that was left as proof of our conversation.
