QUIT OR FORGET?

How can you forget somebody, whom you have learned to love? Would you mind to do something to everything for your friendship?

My family used to transfer from one place to another. I think the house that we are living in now is the sixth. Yes! You have read it right…it’s our sixth house.

When I was still around 6 or 7 years old, we used to live and stay at Camella Homes. It is located at Lapu-lapu city- a far away place from the house that we are truly staying in now. That place is a subdivision. Only a few car passed by, and we all know our neighborhoods. So everybody can walk, run, or play along the street…all the time…every time. But sometimes we should also watch out for some vehicles that will pass which are also owned by the people living there. Every 4:30 or around 5:00 in the afternoon, my friends and I used to play annoyingly. I have lots of friends there. And because our houses were just near from each other, we can play all the time. When we are all together, we always imagine that we are the Power Puff Girls. Yes, it is funny to think about it, but it is also something that we shared. It is something that we can treasure and remember every time we miss each other.

I always remember when we all went near the lagoon, and being scolded by our parents. I always remember when we used to go at the chapel on the month of May. Every time the month of flowers comes, we go to the chapel and pray there. It is called the Flores de Mayo. It is still on my mind when we have a caroling in our own homes. We sang Christmas songs and our parents gave us 20 or 50 pesos. It is great. It is still with me- the laughter, our joys, the tears that we shared the excitement, and the failures.

But now, it seems to be nothing. It is really nothing at all. I always think if they still remember me. They even don’t know where I am now.

I think I quit in the group. But I don’t know…

We are all friends. I am the one who left them first. I was the one

who stayed away from them. Do these mean that I quitted? That I have ruined the faction?

At first, I need to adjust, but now, I have adjusted.

I know that I really didn’t quit. I didn’t forget them. There are all still on my mind. I know that we are far apart from each other. But if everything goes wrong, I can see them. I know that they are still with me. And I hope they still remember me. Because I know that a true friend is someone whom you are special with.

I know I did not quit…and I know that I didn’t forget. They are still my friends.
