We will be friends forever, just you wait and see.

Remember me this way.

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found
I know you can't stay
But part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me
You're everywhere
I'll always care
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way


And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side in all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe



I woke up and realised that I dreamt about this song all night long. This song that I've not heard for a long, long time. I dreamt that I was running in my dream, in a beautiful garden with flowers of red, blue and yellow. I dreamt that I was chasing after things that were important to me - my friends, my loved ones and I suddenly felt that time was too short for me to grasp hold of anything that I have in my life right now.

Haha okay why all the melancholy you may ask.

Recently, my friend's cousin, 13 years old passed away from liver cancer. On the same day, my friend's father passed away too. My friend's friend passed away too in his bed when he was only 16. Events that are not directed at me. Not painful. Not relevant.

But it made me think. Of the past. When I felt the pain.

Why did Death suddenly come. Why did Death launch an attack.

Perhaps it is wrong to make such an assumption.

Death has always hovered above - we are just unaware of how close He is.

Death is painful and it hurts and the pain is from the knowing.

The knowledge that you could have done more. That you could have been kinder, gentler, more understanding, more grateful. That you could have talked less and listened more. That you could have held tt someone's hand and tell him or her that your heart belongs to them and that you could never have turned out the way you did without them. That you could have apologised when the need was real. That you could have just said that it was your mistake when it really was. That you could have made that person smile at your jokes that were never said and the love that was never expressed. That you could have just loved him, loved her just a little bit more. More.

So people, don't wait till Death comes and it's all too late to live your live the way you want it to be and the way it should be.

p/s This post is not meant to be depressed.
