We used to meet up everyday,
We used to be so close...
Now, I can't meet you for a chat,
I can't meet you for a game,
You don't reply my messages,
Nor do you return my calls.
And I don't know why...
Maybe... I'm just not so important after all...
~Self-composed verse <Maybe, I'm not that important anymore>
Heyy, readers.
I'm feeling rather down today.
Last Thursday, I arranged to play badminton with a friend, who I was really close with, because of the sport I loved. So, today was the day we were supposed to meet up. I went to the agreed location at the agreed time, and guess what? After waiting for half an hour, she still didn't appear.
I called.
I whatsapped.
I messaged.
She didn't reply any of them.
When looking through old Instagram photos, I found some old photos of my badminton days. So many emotions rushed through me at once, but one of the strongest emotion was regret.
I missed the good old days, where the few of us would meet up everyday, without fail, at the badminton court for an hour of game.
I guess, it all ended during PSLE, where we said that we would not meet up so that we can focus on final preparations. After that, we never met up again.
It was even harder when we went to different secondary schools. Our timetables were differnt, we were all busy in our own ways.
Maybe, if we continued meeting up during PSLE period, we would not have grown apart. Amazing what 5 days of exams can do to your friendships.
So here's a piece of advise I wish I know when I was younger: Treasure your friends, even if one day, they betray you or something, you will have memories to fall back on, and going back down that memory lane may be the only thing you have left.
