When you see a new pencil on sale in the market, will you remember your old one who braved with u thru PSLE or O levels?

When you see a cuter, nicer puppy in a pet shop, will you remember your own dog who's waiting everyday only hoping to make you a little happier after each day of stress and work?

When you see a new wallet with the latest and coolest design, will you still remember the old ragged wallet that felt warm and familiar in your pocket for years?

When you see hear a new song that you like, will you still remember that song that used to make you cry everytime you listened to it?

When you go to a new school you like and you meet classmates whom u thought were really really good, will you still remember your old school where you spent the most interesting times of your life in? where the teachers and classmates cared so much about you?

When you see a better tomorrow, will you remember the yesterday that you were struggling to survive ?

When you see a better tomorrow, will you remember the yesterday that was so tough and rainy?

When you see a better tomorrow, will you remember the people who were with you, for you, by you one yesterday?

It's sad how much the term "move on with life" means literally. you move on to the next phase of your life and leave everything behind. including people who used to be there for you, who used to and still care for you as much as the past, including the memories of working and striving together, including memories of having fun, joy, laughter, tears and all the memories of every single moment you spent with pple.

no doubt, moving on with life means meeting new people. when you meet new people, you meet new confidantes. and good friends. and more good friends. and you realise your memory follows you till as far as he can go, and stops. he never follows you anymore because he doesnt feel the need to. you're formulating new memories, and you're erasing him with every step you take. it pains him.

Is there a difference between friendships built over 10 years and friends you've juz met but a year ago?

"Many people regret yesterday and fear tomorrow. But for me? I will not fear tomorrow cos i know i can be friends with you forever, nor do i regret yesterday, cos one yesterday, i met you."

Till again~ peace out!
