To a friend, saying goodbye

To a friend saying goodbye

Dearest friend,

The world’s an ocean; life is a voyage.

You and I, are merely passengers.

In this long and hard journey, we’ve helped each other, we’ve fought with each other and we’ve shared each other.

You’ve aided me and I’ve guided you sometimes; we’ve divided our problems and we have, together, faced the wide world together.

You’ve always been there for me, and I for you. When our hearts exchanged meaningful conversations, our mouths remained mute. We learnt that facial expressions are totally sufficient to express our feelings, especially when teachers were blabbering.

I still remember the days we fought with each other. Days when our egos kept us from speaking to each other. I hated not talking to you and, I’ve never told you this, during that mute-war period, your absence was a great loss.

The reason?

We’re friends, what else are friends for?

Never forget.

So, my friend, it’s time to say goodbye…but not, once and for all.

Friendship is not about staying together always, it’s about being apart and still knowing life’s the same.

It’s a small world after all, and we’ll meet again, to renew our dried up springs and to cherish our friendship.

Goodbye, for now.
