All That Glitters

It's 3.48 am and I couldnt force myself to sleep. All I could think of is how life changes so quickly, and sometimes,too quickly without us having time to value one of the the most important things that we should treasure. Friends that we love.


I have always considered myself to be a private person. Friends, I have plenty, but they come and go. Really good friends to me, are indeed rare to find. Without doubt, by growing older, priorities have changed. People I know either are far too engrossed in their career, work or starting families of their own. Watching from afar, I remember I was once in a void after being so hurt, where only me and my love existed, and nothing besides that mattered.


A good friend is getting married tomorrow. She and I- we used to stay up late at night, talking on the phone, sending each other postcards and gifts, but somehow along the way, our lives changed courses. Eventually there was not much left to share, not much left to say. It was a shame that the close bond of sisterhood and love that existed had faded over time, maybe it was partly our fault for the lack of courage to pick up the missing pieces, to start over. A common excuse was given, over and over like a mantra. But deep down both of us knew that nothing was a valid enough reason for us to have left things hanging as they were.

She might not be reading this, but I wish she knew how happy I am for her. That she has finally found someone to share her new beginning. My biggest prayer and hope goes out for her, that she will be well taken care of, may her new life glitters as she deserves nothing less than the best.

Cheers to the bride and groom.
