when i was young, there was this friend i had.her name was melissa. we were best friends. i thought we were
going to remain the same forever. life was good back then.
then a time came when i got annoyed with melisa for
no apparant reason. probably it was because
we always stuck together and i got tired of her
sticking with me all the time. so one day,
just for kicks, i avoided her and hid away from her.
i found a new aquaintance who helped hid me.
she soon found out, and got hurt, my other friend
bodly came up to me and demanded an explaination to why i left.
when i didnt answer, she got pissed and scolded me
for denying our friendship with melissa.
we werent friends anymore after that.
i got hurt of course, i felt that i was treated unfairly.
i cried alot too. "it was just a joke, i didnt mean it." i'd say
to myself. they were the ones who need to apologise.
in the end, both parties did not apologise, probably because,
(as youngsters) we still had our dignity and
waited for the other one to own up.
today i realised how much i DID hurt her. i did say sorry to
my other friend but not melissa due to the lact of contact.
i realised that i was soo caught up with my own
sadness i forgot that melissa's must have been more great than
my own. i had hurt her when she did no wrong.
and up until now, i realize, and i regret.
i never got to say sorry.
this was in primary school. and now
its happening all over again.
never take friendship for granted, no matter what happens.
value it because there will come a time when you
do loose it, and if you hold on to your dignity. it will be too late.
so, even though im not sure if this will help but
im sorry debbie. i really am.
