A new season rolled out, a new year - almost passed.
Yet I find it hard to realize that the clock is ticking faster
Calendar
changes like a blink of an eye – I am frozen back in time?
I find
it hard to understand these concepts, my perception is not the same
I feel
locked inside the prison of reality that bend the rules of the mundane life.
…
I question
myself if I am way too lost in my thoughts and feelings,
Often cross-examine
if I am stuck or maybe I went too far away.
And then
I met you in our yearly gathering – I still feel the bonds so strong
Whatever
uncertainty I had quickly vanished – I am almost me.
We sat
with smiles bright, catching up excited – we have grown so much.
This friendship
is like a spoon of honey to a bitter tea – add the sweetest gentle flavour
In the
world bitterness and inner crises often left unsaid.
One conversation
is enough to go back to what we believed when we entered this adulthood
A bit
scared and confused yet so brave and sometimes even reckless,
Ready to
fight in what we believed wholeheartedly.
Even when
we were too naïve that the world is not a shitty place
We never
backed down, side by side we pushed even harder
Eager to
achieve what we wanted us to be – successful in what we found appealing
Ready to
conquer in the impossible dreams.
Through
hellish fires and snowy storms, we were each other’s rock – always there even
if were on the brink of exhaustion, we chose to be the support system that
cheers us regardless of our differences.
We chose
to show up for one another, sometimes tired of the pressure, sometimes even
ready escape.
…
15
years later I still see our cores so clear, a bit more serious, a bit more darkens,
even beaten down at times.
And yet
even though the life hasn’t always been so gracious, mercilessly painted on our
souls and bodies
We stick
to each other, genuine happiness for every milestone achieved.
For us
the time weaves different – we are the mirrors that reflects the wins and struggles,
The hopes
and even the wildest visions and fantasies.
As long
as we stand by each other, we will always see growth with different lenses
From the
girls with just ambitions to the women we have become – more stable and
fulfilled,
Ready to
face the impossible and still wild enough to keep dreaming, knowing what we
need.
And most
importantly fully capable to achieve whatever we decide the main goal this time is.
We
keep it real to bones, we are always truthful to ourselves,
Bonds beyond
time and place – four souls brought together by a chance –
A lasting friendship by choice.
