It has been more than a year since I lost my best friend, my blog stopped dead in its tracks the time I received the devastating news. The date was 17-June-2010, it was a Thursday.
Today is 12-Aug-2011, and coincidentally a Friday. Let this particular Friday mark a new beginning in my attempt to keep a diary, or at least a virtual one.
Life has been a rollercoaster for the past 1 year, with a gloomy shroud being casted upon my daily life. There were moments of happiness, however I have also taken uncountable journeys to the deepest valley of sorrow. Talking the walk is always easier than walking the talk, telling oneself to move on is one thing but another to really do it. Being an extremely sentimental person, all the memories I had with you will forever linger, and I am determined to hang on to them dearly, just like everything else that you have left behind.
One important lesson (and most probably one with the most significance this life) I have learned is that life is extremely unpredictable and we have control over it only to a certain extend. Life is so fragile that it will fade away should we as much as whisper. Voices in my head and footsteps in the sand may be all that will remain as I walk down the path of time, but they are reminiscence of a good 10 years of friendship.
At times I talk to myself, just the way I used to talk to you. Though not physical, I hope that you can still hear me and know that a friend misses you.
Take care, my old friend. Lead me into the light when the time comes, and we shall be friends once more - for eternity.

A New Beginning: An attempt to revive my blog

Here's a poem by e e cummings (my favorite!) that will carry the beautiful memories you had with this person (darling or not) close to your heart.
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
Keep on writing, Ty!
