How long has it been? It has definitely been awhile. Many things have happened over the past two years; there were many turn of events. Like a traveler walking steadily along that road that seems to stretch longer with my every step. Like how seasons changed, I been broken down and I got my head out of the clouds. I don't talk so loud and walk so proud anymore. It feels as though my flesh is slowly being scraped away from my bones.
Everyone that enters your life are inevitably going to leave someday and it is usually hard to come to terms with whether or not they walk away dead or alive. What really matters are they things they leave behind when they do; memories. No matter good or bad, such are what i consider to be the most precious and beautiful. Memories gives existence its value; taking a little stroll down memory lane helped me realized just how much I've have lived. The one thing that makes me feel alive, the very thing that proves my existence.
It was then I came to learn to appreciate every individual that enters my life. Although, it is not always you meet people but when you do, many would leave as soon as they enter while some very few actually chose to stay. No matter the duration, throughout the entirety of their stay I was able to give existence its meaning. Yes, I've made friends.
I hope that I've brought joy to their lives like how they have brought joy to mine. Like the leafs that fall from branches in the face of the autumn wind; like all things that have a beginning must have an end. Before the day comes when we eventually go our separate ways, at the end of our little journey, before our many partings. I am happy that we got to share a journey together at some point, braced hardships and bonds that we've forged through tears and joy. I thank you, my friends, for the fellowships we have made and the problems of mine in which you have so patiently endured.
Our memories, I swear, will be etched deeply on the walls of my heart where it shall remain for as long as it beats. We will always be friends, no matter where we end up in the future. No matter where we are, you must know that I will always be there; in your hearts and you here in mine.
