In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who
let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the
ugly black one.
In primary one, your idea of a good friend was the person who
went to the washroom with you and held your hand as you
walked through the scary halls.
In primary two, your idea of a good friend was the person who
helped you stand up to the class bully.
In primary three, your idea of a good friend was the person
who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours, you
left it on the bus.
In primary four, your idea of a good friend was the person
who let you copy the social studies
homework that you forgotten to do the previous night.
In primary five, your idea of a friend was the person who
saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.
In primary six, your idea of a friend was someone who
comforted you and lent their shoulder to you when you
received your PSLE results.
In secondary one, your idea of a friend was the person who
helped you to pass the love letter to your crush/stead.
In secondary two, your idea of a good friend was the person
who comforted you when you broke up with your boy/girl
friend, saying that the person is not even worth of your tears.
In secondary three, your idea of a good friend was the person
who would come over to your house and
help you decide on which clothes to wear on your
first date, although she had her date waiting for her.
In secondary four, your idea of a good friend was the person
who would help you in the "O" levels' examination when you
had chicken pox and on the examination day, you recovered but
your friend had the disease and had to stay home for a week.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives
you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when
you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take
advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not
there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put
the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on
to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have
confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps
you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from
others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a
better person, and most importantly loves you!
Thank you for being a friend. No matter where we go or who we
become, never forget who helped us get there. There's never a
wrong time to pick up a phone or send a message telling your
friends how much you miss them or how much you love them.
Remember always to say what you mean. Never be afraid to
express yourself. Tell someone what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets. Most
importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they
have helped make you the person that you are today and are
what it's all about anyway.
Let it make a difference in your day and theirs. The difference between
expressing love and having regrets is that the regrets may
stay around forever.
