Not so far away.

A letter to my best friend on the other side.

You’ve ditched me already. Bear with me this time even it’s going to be long or maybe forever. For the way you’ve gone, no punishment would compensate it ever. So today I’m breaking one of our promises too. Forgive me for doing that.

It isn’t intentional. I tried, i tried hard, i tried a lot. I just can’t keep a smile on my face like you wanted me to do. Everything seems empty and making me numb every time i think about you. I’m trying each day, talking to everybody everyday. But you know what now nobody comes with a solution and i know it’s wrong on my part to expect, because expectations hurt. But i still search for the solutions and again i realise that you’ve gone, gone so far away. That this distance couldn’t be covered in minutes, hours, days, or months or even years now. And we won’t be able to meet again in this life? You made me believe, forever is not a lie. But now i feel it’s all a myth. That means, you too would come back right? I don’t know then why everybody is telling me to move on. This is crazy. LOL.

Today, yesterday, and everyday and anyday while scrolling down our Pictures, our chats, i realise that we haven’t clicked much, or wrote everything we wanted to tell till the last. Or atleast it wouldn’t be enough now and ever now. Because moments were the only things we used to care about. And we don’t remember the days but the memories and moments always. Never thought these would last only this short. I miss you each day.

Now while writing this letter with unbearable tears and a lot more of uncertainty that you would ever read it. I wish i had captured each moment of you,of us together, not to show the world, but to make me believe a lie that you haven’t gone so far. Oh dear! You haven’t gone so far. Waiting to meet you on the other side.

With love

Your Best Friend (Forever?)
