Once upon a time, we
laughed together at a cafe', sing our hearts out in a karaoke session, drank
'till the sun rises and went off to a place only you and I know. Those were the
days of young age, innocence and freedom. Times have change, no, not really, but
circumstances have change. We can't seem to find time for each other, we
stopped texting, we stopped hanging out and poof, we realize it's been months
since we haven't seen each other.
We hear stories from
friends about each other, we laugh about the thought of each other getting into
crazy places. Friends asks us about us and we can only say, "I don't know,
I haven't seen her in a long time."
We grew up and for most of
us, it mean growing apart too. And though I thought we'd be doing crazy things
together forever, circumstances just didn't let us. We both started meeting new
people, enjoyed hanging out with them and eventually they became the people to
go to. We forgot we had each other, no, not really, but we both thought we're
too busy for each other, and so we meet up with other people.
Despite this, we both
smile at the times when we did stuff together. You grew up with me, and none of
those friends will ever experience the tantrums and the fits I showed you back
then. A few scars here and there was shared with you. We dreamed together, of
our future, of a life we wish we had, of traveling the world together, seeing a
concert of our favorite band, going on a cruise, of the men we'll marry, the
names of our children and many other things our minds could imagine. You saw me
first, for who I am, who I was and who I would be. You believed in me when I
say things will work out for us.
I
miss you. Sometimes when I wake up in a Sunday morning, I go back to the times
when we would run away from the world and embrace the breeze, taking everything
in. On these occasional moments, I laugh like I’m a little child again, because
I remember; even though a few things are blurry.
Memories
of us may get blurry or even fade away but I will never forget the feeling
whenever I’m was with you. We will always share something, the past can never
change, and for that I am thankful. Once upon a time, I had you and you had me.
We were going to show the world together that we could do the things that we’ve
only dreamed of.
For
reasons we can never phantom, we just drifted apart. I’m sorry for not keeping
the promises we once made. I apologize for not making the best effort of
connecting with you. But sometimes, we need to take a step to learn more and
grow more. I will never forget you and I hope you won’t forget me too.
People
drifts apart, they move on and they make new memories. This is the cycle of
life.
