A Day to Remember

To the friends that I’ve not texted or called,
I am so happy to know you.
The secrets that I shared, I wish you would forget them.
The sorrys or the I love yous that I never said, I wish you would know how much it’s true
The arguments that failed to be solved, I wish we had more time to work on it
The candid pictures we took on our last trip, I wish we would take
The stories we never made to tell, I wish we weren’t too hesitant
The laughs and cries on our sleepless nights, I wish those would last forever
The random texts, memes sharing, songs recs, I wish we weren’t too selfish to let those things stop

I keep wishing and wishing
Though I realise we’ve been distant
Isn’t it crazy?
How we never had the idea that those moments will be our last?
How we never had the idea that we will be ‘two people who used to be close’
Isn’t it strange?
The feeling of a sudden void, an emptiness, from not getting any more text from you, that I should think twice or thrice before reaching out to you

But people come and go
And we’re incapable of controlling what is uncontrollable
Maybe in five years, we’ll look back at this point and smile
Recalling “Oh, we were such good friends”
Maybe some friendships are just meant to be a reminiscence, a day to remember.

To the friends I’ve never talked to anymore, I wish you a good life.
