Remembering an Old Friend

"When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done, help me leave behind some, reasons to be missed. Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memories and leave out all the rest."
Leave out all the Rest - by LinkinPark

It has been four years since you have crossed on the other side. It’s been that long and I can’t still forget you. Even if a lot of days had passed by, even though that eveything has changed so much, even if I have changed a lot, you still remain to be the same... Within my memories, within my dreams, within my heart. It's been so long, and all I could do is offer you flowers and pour a can of beer over the cold gravestone marker that has served as a reminder to all of us that you left us, that for once in the past, you were here, alive and breathing and touching peoples' lives... Yes, it's been so long and still I don't know why you've made your choice, why you made that choice, four years ago...


I hope that you are in a better place. I hope you are always happy. I hope I could see you again, as I watch and stare at the stars at this cold night... I hope you are watching over me, over your family, over your friends and over all those whom you made to realize that we are worth something...even if that worth is close to nothing and emptiness...


It's been so long but I can still remember, how you've told me that you were safe with me. I still remember how you've trusted me, even with your secrets and your pain, even with your dreams and glee...I still remember. I hope you still remember how you made our insignificant lives, a bit bearable...


It has been four long years and yet it seems that you just left yesterday... I still don't know why you've made that choice four years ago... but I do know that what really matters is the memories that you've left.. I will forget all the wrong that you've done and I help you find the reasons that will remind us that you have been missed...dearly. I will not resent you, and whenever I feel empty, I will remember you, even if I have to leave out all the rest.

Yes, I still remember, I will always remember you.


Happy birthday to you, my dear old friend...
