What Would've Been...?
My friend, Veron, and I were talking one morning on our way to work. She asked a question that any young fresh graduate would rarely ask at an early life-time in the corporate world. She asked about what might have been if our lives were different. Would we have still met and became friends? After that conversation, I sat back and looked out my window thoughtfully. The passing cars didn't seem to be there for I was lost in my own thoughts. Wondered a lot of times before whenever I have these moments of looking at my life in the bigger picture, reflecting on it like I was studying someone else's life instead of mine. Questions like, "What my life would have been if my father hadn't died?", "What life would've been if Cynthia hadn't gotten sick of leukemia?", and especially, "What my life would've been if I had left home early from the park almost 10 years ago...would I still have met him?"
If I hadn't, I think I would've been jaded about romance by now. I wouldn't have believed in fate nor destiny. I would've felt dead with my father all these years. But, we would've seen each other in the different places we bumped into, only we would have just passed by each other like strangers. When I think about it, it makes me feel happy just to have him in my life. Even if we're just good as best friends. He made me realize that life goes on and I will be just fine. Ever since that day we met, I knew that this is one boy that would leave a special mark in my life. And it will remain in my memory forever.
They say that friendship is like wine. It gets better in time. I've had friendships that stayed and some that drifted away. There are only a few friends who would go out of their way to keep in touch. I'm glad I have friends like that. And there is at least one who has touched your life and changed it forever.
They say that a friendship can grow like a tree. If the seed was properly nurtured, the roots are deep and it bears sweet fruits. And if it was taken well cared of, the emotions grow beautifully. Like how the branches would stretch out gracefully high up to the heavens. The winds may blow and sway the tree but it will still stand firmly to the ground. The seasons may change but the leaves and fruits will grow back to its full abundance.
...just like how my friendship with him has been through the years...
