Hello.. Thank You & Good-bye..

When I first heard of you, my heart longed to become a part of you. I dreamed and dreamed until my dream came true.


So it became you and me – great tandem. I imparted everything I know to you and gave everything there is to give. In return, you gave me what I deserve and I was grateful and contented. I always showed up on time everyday, packed up with enthusiasm and excitement. Your warm welcome and endearing motivations gave me inspiration.

Days became months; months became years. We’ve been together for more than neither of us expected. You relied on me and I leaned on you. We both met many people along the way but most of them fled away and you counted me as one of the few survivors. Thanks for counting me in. It was a pleasure then.

You entrusted others’ responsibilities to me and you humbly demand most of my time. I submissively gave you all of me. I hope you realized how hard I tried to give you everything you needed. I didn’t know where I got it but somehow my patience those days were immeasurable. I sympathized of your loss and tried to be strong for you. I can still remember the looks of those pleading eyes, painfully tearful and begging me to cooperate. Of which, I realized, I selflessly did…

Time passed and I was more than happy to see you subtly recovering. The gleam in your eyes was contagious and I couldn’t help but smile myself. The heavy burdens we both were carrying somehow lightened. It was a relief to see you back and normal again.

So we moved on, still the same old you and me. You treated me like a genuine treasure – expensive and rare. That’s how you make me feel and as always, I appreciate it. I couldn’t ask for more.

You’ll be out my sight very soon but your presence and influences will always linger in me. One of these days, I will have to work things out for myself and I’m glad you’re always willing to stand by me. I thank you. It’s all I could say. I hope everything will work out fine between us, despite the approaching distance. It might be long before I’ll come back your way, or I may never come back at all, but I want you to know that you’ve always been an integral part of who I am right now.

Thank you for teaching me how to be humble and patient. Thanks for the gift of genuine friendship. Thank you for believing in me and for letting me face those tough challenges I didn’t suppose I could solve. Thank you for the never-ending support.

You thought me well enough to face the real world again. Now I am packed up with confidence, strength and wisdom, ready to tackle whatever trials there are along my path. I know I can stand stronger than I used to and I owe all these to you. Thanks for everything.

I will sorely miss my routine around your vicinity. I will always muse over those daily activities I did to help you grow. I know you’ll keep on surviving without me. Someday, you’ll find another me and I may find another you. But for sure, the moments will remain even though time may pass. I wish you all the luck and I hope that you can help more people and help them grow up, just like what you did to me and many others.

Adieu for now. But who knows, I might come back running into your loving arms again…
