怀念已故人Today's Teachers' Day celebrations again.
Last year was the first time I celebrated this occasion, and it was a bittersweet one. It was during Teachers' Day, when a very sweet boy left our world and went to another better one, a boy missed by all who knew him.
Today, I visited him with a stalk of sunflower. I prayed to him, that he will always be bright and cheerful like the sunflower, no matter where he is. Even though almost a year has gone by, it still felt sad, seeing his niche, seeing his picture.
Didn't stay for long, perhaps for fear of being too upset, or perhaps for fear of the tears falling again. Though I didn't know this boy for very long, but perhaps of his endearing character, it felt as if I knew him longer than I did. The sensible boy who gave me encouragement when I faltered, the inquisitive boy who asked me so many questions during our msn conversations, the boy who looked upon me as an elder sister. I believe to a certain extent, that it requires affinity to bond with people, and perhaps I shared a little more affinity towards him than some others, hence, even though I didn't know him for long, his demise saddened me very much.
Anyway, while visiting him today, something just flashed across my mind...
The term "只在乎天长地久，不在乎曾经拥有" , it's always been used in the love context, but today I seemed to have learnt another meaning towards it.
友谊或许未必能够天长地久，但是曾经拥有的快乐时光，却是没有人能够带走的。
