Happy new year!! Give 2012 a big smile! :D
‘Cause she is a best friend
“Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”
They say, friends are the most important valuables that a person may own. Friends are the people who will stay at your side even if the whole world throws you out.
It was a fine afternoon. All the students were at the gym to practice for the most awaited event that will happen in their lives- graduation. The practice wasn’t starting yet. The teachers were waiting for the other students to arrive. Students were at their respective places. Since then, every graduation, it has been a practice to give your friends something special as a farewell gift. In my case, I made letters for my close friends. It’s my sign of showing that I’m grateful for having someone like them in my life and I will miss them as we go through separate ways.
Before our graduation, I already gave some of my friends my letters to them. Angelica, one of my close friends, had received a letter. She felt happy and thankful.
Days passed and I felt something different in the way Angie treated me. It’s like something’s not right. I used to be paranoid with things so I concluded that maybe I had offended her with my letter. I tried to know if there was a problem going on between us. I asked my bestfriend and she told me that there was nothing wrong. But something’s really bothering me. I sent a message to Angie and asked if there was really a problem between us or it’s just me who taught it. I did not get an answer. And I really felt bad. It just meant that we’re not in good terms and there was a problem. But I felt happy when she liked my post in facebook.
“Stay another moment. Sing another song. Spend a few more hours making memories to bring along. ’Cause I miss all the faces that make me remember just how much I’ve grown.. ‘Cause these are the best times.”
That is the chorus of our grad song made by my batchmates. I posted it to Angie’s wall but changed the last sentence. I put “’Cause you are a best friend.” And I was so glad to know that she liked it but didn’t post a comment.
We were having a general practice for graduation. Angie went to me and gave me a letter. I smiled at her and thanked her. As I was reading it, I couldn’t help but cry. The body of the letter really pushed my tears to fall down. I went to my bestfriend’s place so that I had someone to talk to. She comforted me. I couldn’t stop crying. I knew it. I offended Angie with my letter. I said in it, at the last part, that I got jealous of her and my special someone. But I never really intended that. It wasn’t my purpose. I even said that it was just a joke. But then it hurt my friend. I felt so depressed. I hate myself for doing that. Angie is one of my very close friends. I could not afford if I would lose someone like her. I decided to go to her place. But before I got to her, my teacher called me. He asked me to kiss his dog! It broke my momentum. I was emotionally broke. It was a silly thing. After that, I went to Angie and hugged her while saying that I was very sorry for what I did. I felt so relieved after it. At least we had fixed things before we have gone to our different ways. I love my friends.
Friends are not trophies that marked our victory. They are not toys to play. They are not prices to buy. Friends are memories to treasure. They are the people who will not be tired of loving you. They may be like doraemon who will let you do what you want even if it’s close to danger but will tell you a lesson afterwards. Love your friends! Money can’t buy us friends! ‘Cause money can’t buy us happiness!
Don’t let them take your life for granted
You’re the only one who needs to rule your world
When life leaves you feel empty- handed
Lie low and show ‘em what you’re worth

ngayon ko lang narealize na magkaiba pala lyrics. :))) <3
