This is to you, all you who made an impact in my life, positive, negative
This is for you, to you all who taught me a lesson and made memories to treasure
It's funny how we met and became friends
It's funny how you changed me to be the person I am today
It's funny how you managed to get me talking while I was always in my world of thoughts, not caring what others thought,
And always being on my own with loneliness being my closest partner
It's funny how you made me be confident talking to others, as shyness was my shadow and I would sway with the wind in front of a crowd,
And I would be crazy confident in front of the sky, ground, animals and the four cuboid sides whenever I locked myself in my room
It's funny how and when you made me stand in front of the congregation until I got to know what I'm good at,
And even if I insulted you, hide and cry, you made sure I got on my feet
It's funny how you made me believe in myself and saw the genius in me, when all I could feel was failure in me
It's funny how you criticized me and yet laughed at it, like a cracked joke
It's funny how I felt loved, secured and cared for whenever you were around,
And whenever I saw your face, I would smile or giggle a bit remembering the jokes you told me
But now, the long lost loneliness is back,
It is so weird how time flies and the time to depart was eagerly waiting
My heart was filled with pain and heartache watching you go, and even though I couldn't show it, believe it or not,
I found myself crying wishing that there could be at least more time to be with you, because, I feel that time was limited for us to spend together
But I guess we all to go by the rule of  life and move on
It's so sad that I might never see you again and more hurting ,
Because you will always be in heart
Am sorry for this,  but because of the time I had a chance to say this passed like the swirling wind,
I have this chance to write down and appreciate you and appreciate to have known you
And please, don't forget to spread the love # love you.
