WHY can't we. just felt like penning down some thoughts that've been goong thru my mind. for those whom i've known since i started building sandcastles. haahs. (: why, actually i don't know where to start.
i've seen so many different faces,
faintly remember those acquaintances,
names? they don't exactly ring a bell.
but faces, faces from nearly faded photographs,
sure i remember them. they have a special place in my heart.
years passed by, days from playing in the sandpit, climbing that tree
and pretending to be family ,tying each others hair..
they've all have gone by.
when i was five, i thought that we would always stay together
when i turned seven, i was pretty sure, we were gonna grow up together till "forever".
then i turned nine, things turned a lil more awkward,
but we were still pretty much fine.
then i was eleven, you grew too
slowly, the distance between us started to grow.
ok, things were alright, but you had your friends, i had mine.
then when we were nearing fourteen, we began to talk lesser.
hardly any more crap debates, less things we saw eye to eye on.
ironically, i was supposed to be more mature.
yet you grew, much much faster.
that was fine, at least we still said "hi and bye"
i thought things were gonna get better, its just a usual phase we have to go through
boy, i was wrong.
months passed. months of silence.
you seemed to have grown 1o years older.
not that i blame you,
i knew you didn't wanna stay here
what i can't fathom is.
why do people change so so fast?
not just one.
many, whom i used to treasure,
have all grown up so quickly.
they've gone to different places,
we're in different phases.
or maybe,
is it just me, the one who doesn't wanna let go?
i still find it hard to think that, i'm still stuck here.
why does growing up have to be so hard?
why can't we be friends
who grow up TOGETHER?
