Friends come and friends go, everybody knows that. Look forward to the ones who come, and miss those who go, but never forget them. I miss those times we spent under the tree during recess, laughing at jokes only we could understand. I miss those free periods we used to have and spent them talking about things I could never talk about now with my present company. I felt so at home and at ease with you all, we made quite a unique group. Now we've all gone our separate ways. Now I truly miss those times we had, of laughter, tears, fear and excitement..nothing is the same now. My heart feels burdened and saddened sometimes, when you try to be yourself but realise that if you're too much yourself, you would never fit in. What do you do then? Find a group to fit in or alter yourself to fit in? That is why I miss you all so much, you who allowed me to be myself and be loved and accepted for it.
Why is it so hard to find someone to hold those sort of conversations with now? How could you get close to people who would never understand the true you? My dear Il Divas, how I miss you all! Do know how much I treasure our friendship and how much I miss those times.
But then there are those, who compromise friendship for other things in life, things which have become evidently more important. "I'm sorry I'm busy now", it's either that or no reply at all.
However, there are also those who have been there for me through thick and thin, no matter how busy or how far away they are. Sue, who is always there to cheer me up and listen to my rantings even past midnight. Ming, who always made me feel special when others made me feel like I was part of the wall. Sher, always giving me a reason to =). And kev, always just a message away and availing yourself to listen where some others would have turned me down with an "I'm busy now". I love you all and I truly thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. You have showed me the true meaning of friendship just when I thought it could not exist. Just when so many have let me down, you were there to prove me wrong and to help me through those times of disappointment.
