This one is taken from cmrd0004 group page kot..written by Ajie.. I truly like her words~

Friends forever, we once said. Promises we once held to our hearts, convinced of the strength of our friendship. Friendships taken for granted because of the close proximity we once shared. Then we moved apart, and our lives became filled with the hustle and bustle of work and university and social activities, and the phone calls and e-mails became less frequent, and days turned into weeks, and weeks into months before we cross each other’s minds again, and we realise how far apart we’ve grown. The physical distance becoming a distance of hearts. And despite wanting to make that extra effort to say hello, wanting to know how each other has been, uncertainty becomes a barrier, and the flames of friendship become dying embers of a time that once was. This is a tribute to those friends. To the time we first met, when a pair of scared, lonely eyes search for comfort in the eyes of another. Those moments when i cried, and you were always there. We had such fun. Before our schedules became busy. To those times we would bitch about our seniors, and the urgency we felt to stand for our own rights. Those days when you would make me laugh until my side would hurt. To those wonderful days spent together. Before distance made a difference. To the year 2002 which would never be forgotten. The stay ups and the days when tears flew from sincerity of hearts. How we would shout Happy Friendship Day at the hall, our smiles were bright, and our eyes reflect the deep bonding we've made through all these years. Before life takes its toll on us. How we used to spend sleepless nights doing the sand art. How tears stung in each other's eyes as hurt creeps into our hearts. The quarreling and the fights, the hurt we all felt for a friendship that was getting fragile by the second. but our friendship survived it all.before we start taking different paths. And although some things may never be the same, we tried to make the best out of our final year. the fear we all felt for the expectations, the fun we all had watching AF at the hall, or just going jogging together, or just those times you would knock on my door and i would let you in, and we would sit and eat and talk. Before we grew up and got different sets of friends. To those loud laughters i miss so dearly. those times when i felt safe, just knowing that i have you. There were mistakes i wish i could undo, there were days i wish i had spend more times with you, and yet i am thankful enough to have the chance to know you. At times I sit and wonder wistfully what you guys are doing, and how you are coping leaving behind the years we did. and i know, in each and everyone of us, there's a soft spot longing for the old days in school. Here’s to those memories I cherish, and carry in my heart, for the smiles I spent and the laughter we shared. Some friends I have grown apart from, and some I have grown closer to, but I miss each and every one. Friends forever, we once said. And in my heart, we are. Love, ajjie.
