A letter to a best friend

Dear best friend,

How far we have come since we first met. We were shame to ask each other's name but we grew into a family by time. Many ups and downs together. Many mid-nite calls to each other. Talking over the phone for hours. Then all of a sudden, we were leaving high school/college. The last day of school/college left us unspoken due to the fact that all of us know that we will be parting from each other from now on. You went on with your new life and so does mine. Some of cried (I know I did when my BFF got an offer into a borading school back in year 2000)

After years goes by, the long distance SMSes and calls (we don't have 3G at that time), we step into the working world. Calls and SMSes became less as everyone were busy with work(so we thought) and some of us went into a relationship. Busy juggling with boyfriends and work. At one point, we almost forgot that we have besfriend. Well I guess that's normal as a human. We take granted on almost everything in life. But yet, it triggered our mind that even we forgot that person at times, the other party has never once forgotten about us. You can still see your best friend's SMS saying 'Hi, how are you' in your inbox. But both of you became strangers, don't know what to say to each other as a gap existed between us. But the bond is still there.

And then, we came to a point where some of us enter the life of marriage. The gap became even wider and sometimes, there's no news at all from each other(that's scary). Also a point where we seek the prefection of life in ourselves that at times we lost and at times you fall. But you know, even then, someone will always push you back up and give you the strength to carry on with life. When you think everything sucks, your best friend say that life is beautiful. When work sucks, your best friend say, be grateful that you have a job. When you got out from a relatioship, your best friend came all the way at 2am to comfort you. When you feel down, your best friend will make stupid jokes so that'll you'll laugh again.

Best friend will not laugh when you fall when the world are laughing at you. True friends will stab you in front and friends will stab you at the back. There's a differences. No matter how bad your attitude is, your ebst friend will always be there. Best friends accept each other for who they are. There's no need a mask to cover you true self when you have your best friend.

But through out the years of my life, i have met many people but the people who still leave their footsteps in me are a few. And I'm glad and grateful that we cross the same path and that now we remain as best friends no matter what life throw at us. We have, will and always be best friends.

And I hope when I leave the world, I will not leave our friendship. And that I'll leave in peace and knowing that there's no regret of having you as my best friend..
