When Friends Leave

What could be worse than both of your best friends moving away - so far?

Now that I don’t see them very often because school ended, it’s kind of strange. We used to take walks, bring about sarcastic or witty conversations, laugh at the most sacred stuffs and go someplace where our shoes will bring us, the simple pleasures that gave the most pleasant feeling… it’s so hard to imagine the word FUN and ADVENTURE without Jay and Rey. And that they are both leaving and moving, I can’t seem to see how I’ll spend the entire summer without them.

When friends go, it’s like you are into some slow mo-ed scene. The slow motion effect makes you feel the hurting more. The slow motion makes you see every movement of them, every movement saved into your memory because you know it will be the last, and the background music perfectly unify with the moment and you want to utter those words left unsaid but you hesitate once more and time stops when they move those feet far away from where you are standing. Then when they finally disappear, you’ll feel the throbbing of your heart as you try to contain your tears on the lids of your eyes. And you’ll see flashes of their faces and all throughout the day, you’ll remember all the times you’ve shared with them and leaves starts to fall…

Perhaps, they don’t undergo this stage like me because they are of different species. I mean, males are less emotional than the females…and they may be totally crackin’ at this thought if they ever read this. But I still think that they have sensitive hearts than most guys have.

Looking back….being together, helping each other, growing up, changing you, changing me, the times we dreamed together, laughed….I realize how much I will truly miss you guys and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever and what the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So Jay and Rey, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you’ll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for what the future may hold.

And although we're off to different worlds, somehow we're together. And even though we're far apart, our memories are deep within our hearts. If time slips away and you haven't heard from me, always remember that our bond is more than just words.. It's a feeling of togetherness in our hearts and soul. I’ll never want to forget how special and different you both are. And how you touched my life in a way that no one else ever could.
