Its true, you know.

You know how two people can drift apart because of differences? It doesn't only happen in boy-girl relationship as the same goes for family and friends. Do you remember the childhood friend you once had? Had some masak-masak games, tea parties with the dolls? Well, maybe not for me. I remember we used to hang out alot. However, I have trouble remembering what we actually did. At that point of time, she was a big part of your world. Then you grew up, going into primary school and thus, you are separated from each other due to the different schools. You next meet her in the same secondary school (eventhough you lived so close to each other!) but all changed. You have your friends, she have hers. Differences grew you apart from each other.

You then chose one from your many friends and stayed close to her. You shared thoughts, food, laughter and even tears. The differences were what made you both unique to each other, but it is also the differences that grew you apart from each other. Very soon you start disliking each other and did all you can to get rid of her. You fought and make a big hoo ha over it. Then you decided to stay in NON-talking terms for a couple of years. As the years passed, you grew up. So did she. A phone call away was all that was needed. It was also from there a new friendship blossomed. There are still many differences but she became one of those that you know you can always talk to whenever, wherever!

Next on, you continued your life journey, going through the many phases of life. The people you met, either they are just your HI-BYE friends, or probably some hanging out mates. From there, you again managed to find someone who seem to be able to understand you, or simply compatible. You helped each other along the way, doing things for each other like what every best friends do. You hang out so much together, having endless conversations and even so, you are never sick of the company. However, everyone have a different path in life. You both moved on, thinking that nothing will ever break the bond. It was indeed a test of time. When you finally meet up again, you already prepared the whole list to share and talk about because you do want to know about each other's life. But when the time came, you just became dumbfounded, you couldn't recite out the list of things. You just sat there, desperately waiting for time to pass because you are not comfortable at all. You both became two very different people, with different interests.

I had many good friends eventhough some may come to the past. I'll think about those times once in a while, remembering all the good times. I suppose life still goes on, though I do hope to get back those times again. I really miss it.
