It was a day in June, year 2002. I started attending the school I never imagined of attending. I was in mixed emotions because I managed to got in easily but most of my gradeschool friends decided to go to other highschools so I was like contemplating on backing out but it was not an option at that time. While contemplating I heard these two girls chatting as if they have never seen each other for years. I cursed them at the time for they were too loud but the next thing I knew was they were already my classmates and after a month or so, I was enjoying their company and was chatting with them. I met other people, some became enemies and some became very dear to me. After a year, there was a resectioning and some bonds were strengthened and a lot have been cut. The same thing happened every year and the worse thing has yet to come... graduation.
Upon the preparation for graduation, we were asked to do a speech for our Filipino class, I made two and one of those tackled the graduation theme and as I remember a line from it goes like "hindi 'yung moment na iyon ang iniiyakan namin kund i'yung mga susunod na araw, linggo, buwan at taon na hindi na sila ang kasama namin sa bawat galaan, kausap sa bawat kwentuhan at kasalo sa bawat tanghalian." And indeed it happened... though we have managed to get in touch with one another from time to time, it is still different back then...
If I had known that we will be losing all those wonderful days we sed to have, I should have tried my best to show my friends how I value them and how much important they are to me. If I had known then that the things I've done will dictate the world's perception of me I should have tried on becoming a better person even when I was younger. I know I haven't tried hard enough on becoming a better person, on becoming a better comrade on becoming someone I've wanted to be... If I had known that time flies...
I SHOULD HAVE RUN FASTER...
