____The Friendship Of A Passerby

Certain things have happened recently and have made me change my mind about friendships. More and more, the disappointment with the people around me have made me realise that I shouldn't be disappointed anymore. There shouldn't even be room to feel disappointment. It is just a way of life. Suddenly, I realised the truth in these words, which I extract from Wilson's blog.

"On Friendship"

...Our destinies meet for a moment, then diverge again
We can meet up and reminisce on the good old days,
And laugh again at that lame joke,
But You and I know it will never be the same again,

For time moves on and waits for no man,
Old friends are lost,
New friends are found.
There is no need to make extravagant efforts to stay in touch
We all have our own paths,
Let us not get in each other's way!
Let us drift apart...

Whether or not we were once from Rosyth Class 95 graduates. Whether or not we were once ZHSS NPCC squadmates. Whether or not we braved the storms of A levels together. Whether or not we mock fought in our bunkrooms during SISPEC. Whether or not we experienced the PTI beesting together. Whether or not I am part of block 222 Sunday soccer group. If one of us decide to move on, for whatever reasons, let's not stop each other. If you decide not to turn up for Hall Ball, I will not question you. If I stop playing at block 222, please don't ask me why.

And a message to insane poet's friends....

"Passerby"
You would have drove me home,
Even in the middle of the night.
And when you drink till you puked,
Be sure I'd give you a ride.

I sure have liked your smile,
But I liked your laughter more.
I would have said things to make you laugh,
So that your stomach went sore.

Yet there were times I made you cry.
That's when you have your revenge.
Because whenever you did,
My heart felt like it's been wrenched.

I would have laughed at your inability,
To tell the difference between Tanah Merah and Kembangan.
You would have laughed at my poor school results.
And I'd probably shoot you if I had a gun.

I didn't take some jokes that came my way,
Sometimes, you didn't find things funny too.
But you'd still take another insult.
That's beyond a doubt.

I am your friend for 10 years.
I am your friend since four.
I am still your friend,
Even when you show me the door.

My dear friend, don't stop me from leaving,
Let me fly away.
I won't urge to keep you too,
If you decide to run one day.

Even if we're only two-week-friends,
I hope you don't feel pity.
And when I'm gone, don't cry,
For I'm only your passerby...
