Waiting

Friend. You don't know the feeling until you lose one. People come and go but I used to believe friends stay on. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe there is no such thing as forever. But I wish I was right. I have to constantly remind myself that I did not lose one. That friend of mine will forever carry the tag of 'friend' regardless of whether he/she wants to take it down.

C.S Lewis once said, 'Frienship is unnecessary, like philosphy, like art...it has no survival value; rather it's one of those things that give value to survival'. This friendship might only mean the first part of the sentence to you but to me, it's the whole complete line.

I can't read the person's mind like Edward Cullen but I am sure I can read mine. My brain, the size of my fist confirms to me everyday before I sleep that the friendship did not sink. It did not. Things might be different. I might be hated. My presence might not be welcomed but I will make sure I do not lose sight of the beautiful ship.It has definitely brought me to places that I could not go without or alone.

All that's happening now is that the weather is too bad for the sail to begin again. However, weather will change according to God's will. It's just the matter of time.
