The Improvised Light In My So-called Life



I wasn't surprised that I will miss you this much.  Yeah, right!

Okay. 

Like, every day we talk, except weekends because that’s our break, so I won’t be too attached on you.  See, that’s what I thought.

Remember when one of my closest friends was on leave for a week and I told you, after three days of not seeing her, I realized that I miss her.  But as you’ve mentioned before, that as a person, you would always want and strive to be the BEST, and I was kind ‘a laughing at the thought of, hey, you achieved it again and you set a new record!  Because, half of the first day that you’re not around, without your voice, your presence, it was all so different that day—it was really odd.  Well, admittedly, it felt a little weird not to have that morning chit chats with you--those irritating conversation and hopeless jokes I share with you that it’s me who ends up laughing.  I am missing your company---my security blanket, my torch of hope.  My improvised light at the end of the tunnel so I can see my way out each time I have attacks of lunacy. Hahaha! 

I miss you and I can’t tell it to you without a smile on my face.  I hate it coz I want to be serious when I talk to you, but I just can’t control my facial expressions because I’ve always been real to you, my dear friend.  Remember when I told you that I want this friendship to work out, GUESS WHAT?! --it’s TRUE.   That’s why I am like this. I can’t be all out to our friendship, I have to limit myself and put a barrier because I lost my closest male friends along the way and just ended hating myself, blaming myself.  I can still remember how those relationships crushed me and made a huge impact in my being.  So, this time, I am just enjoying this feeling of having a buddy, a conscience, an emergency light in my dark or not-so-dark days or when I just feel like talking and doesn't care if you will listen or not.  Thank you for the ability (for at least trying) to manage all my neurosis.

Maybe to some this is weird, but for me, I am enjoying the days with you, which are so far the best in this stage or phase in my life that I know won’t last forever.  Like what you always tell me, there’s no such thing as forever, so I don’t want to assume that our friendship will be forever because for sure it isn’t and it won’t happen.  Well, I am a hopeful person, anyway, so I still hope we'll last until we're fed up! Hahaha!  I realized what you’ve said when I got home one night and re-assess the group of friends I have at present.  And yes, you could really say that forever is baloney.  But, maybe I just have my own version of ‘forever’ or maybe because I am just aiming to achieve that forever with my chosen friends, or maybe because as you've mentioned not too long ago that I am too idealistic and well, for a lunatic like me, forever is more than just a word for me it's way beyond reality, or well, maybe you're right all along, but who knows, right? I don’t want to argue on that anymore. 

I have apprehensions too.  See, for an emotional person like me who always sees the best and worst in every situation and person, I have fears that I might be losing you in the end.  But, I am gradually accepting the fact that you’re the kind of person who won’t be there for me in the long run. (God forbid!)  That, what if my dose of medicine will soon be a poison to me?  I have that kind of trepidation as early as now.  

Beast bought 3-pancakes for me celebrating our 'Friendship Day' and it was our fifth month as Official Friends! Thank You, Lord!

Each time we have arguments, or let me rephrase that, each time I have tantrums or okay, I'll rephrase it again, each time I have attacks of immaturity, I always have this mental picture, a scene wherein you have to go and that I have no choice because we really have to part ways.  How I wish that was just a mere trick in my brain so that I won’t be that sad when that moment becomes a reality.  (Actually, I am afraid that I might lose you as a friend as early as now.  Gosh, you know that I can't blame you, right?!)

For now, I am enjoying this I miss my Beast already! feeling because I am quite sure that it will always be a roller coaster sort of ride in this journey we have as friends.  A simple Thank You is not enough, that’s why every day I am grateful to have known you or at least took a glimpse of what’s in you and who you are as a person. 

Let me end this by quoting a Hollywood actress when she received an award in behalf of her good friend, the famous Woody Allen.  “Make new friends, but keep the old.  One is silver and the other is gold.  The circle is round, it has no end.  That’s how long you’re going to be my friend. 

Thank you, Beast! 


Tidbits:
