To a friend.
To one who'd been around.
Thank you.

It takes nothing to be submissive.
It is another thing, to stand tall, and proud, to be yourself, regardless the circumstance.
Regardless of what people say, or what they think.
To be yourself.

Deadlines, they come one by one, don't they? Never ending, never giving you a break. And as we're approaching them, we then realize, how short time is; and we realize then how we've actually spent our time. Was it worthy? Was it meaningful? And adaptations, they're hard. For knowing that it possibly could be, and would be, the last time there would be this level of emotions. Truly, many of the times, it is only we've lost something, that we realize it's value.

I'd remember, the wonderful first 5 days in junior college.
I'd remember, the times we'd went out for dinner (only once in a food center, though. (: ).
I'd remember, the moments as a group everyone bickered over the trivialities.
I'd remember, the kind of conversation we had about. Memorable ones.
And I'll get to know, the feeling of how now I won't get to hear your grumble, or your whines, from now on.
And I guess we'll all get to know, if it's the first, the feeling of someone leaving.

For when a puzzle piece is taken away, no matter how we try to fill in that gap, it never will be as perfect as before, would it?

All the best in your future endeavors, but don't you ever forget us. Haha.
You'd better come back.

And to the rest of us,
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Once the stars have faded?

We'll try, won't we? (:

To say that you are a part of us, it is insufficient
For, instead, we're a part of you.
It's not about who we are not, but instead, of who we are.
You'd better come back. XC

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.


Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?

When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told someone,
We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
Life is like an unopened gift....
Just thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower

Hear the music
Before the song is over..
