AN OPEN LETTER TO MY FRIENDS =)
(PROJECT KO PO TO SA ENGLISH. PUBLISH KO LANG PARA MABASA NIYO :D)
To my dearest friends,
Hello. I do not know how I should start this letter, so I just started it with the same word that started our friendship. I’d end this letter with the same word, so that our friendship would be a cycle, a process that never ends.
It's been a long time since we started hanging out with each other. Several months have passed since we started cherishing each other's presence. It's been so long since we became friends.
Now I would like to take this opportunity to tell you the things I do not have the strength to tell you personally. I would like to tell you that I love you and that you mean a lot to me. I want you to know that no matter how many people I'd be meeting in the future, you would remain important to me. You were always with me when I needed your support. You encouraged me to fight when I was about to lose hope. You were the ones who gave me the reason to believe in my abilities. You inspired me to work and strive harder for me to reach my goals. You were the ones who did not let me down. You were the ones who stayed and loved me for who I am.
I would also like to apologize for the wrong things that I have done. I may have offended you several times- and I accept my faults. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to be the best friend. I may not always be there to celebrate with you during success or to cry with you during failure, but I want you to know that I was always with you, every step of the way. I may not be present in the end, but I was with you when you were struggling. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to completely fulfill my duties as your friend. I am willing to change and make it up to you.
Now we are in a race against time. We are about to end our high school life and whether we like it or not, there is a possibility for us to part. I am going to miss all of you. In the period of time that we have been together, I have felt accepted, respected and loved. I love you so much that there's a part of me that can't let go. It’s really hard for me to say goodbye, but we have to grow and see the world out there. We may not be together, but we would stay in each other's memories forever.
I would never forget you. I would never forget those times we laughed at each other’s jokes, those times we went to Mcdo for lunch, those times we teased each other about our crushes, the surprises we prepared for each other, those times we played and fooled around and the times we shared stories about falling in love. Just remembering those times causes my tears to fall. What more when time comes that we have to part ways? I love you, forever and always and I hope that our friendship will never end. I’m lucky to have friends like you. You would always be my roses that I’d never get tired of taking care of. I will never regret the day I said “Hello”, because without that day, I know my life would be incomplete. I would never get tired of repeating that word, even for a million times, knowing that that’s the word that brought you into my life. Time will come that we’d be seeing each other again, and there would only be one word that I would like to say- hello.
With all the love,
Yeye
