Somewhere, sometime, we all have to say goodbye. It could be a good friend moving far, far away; it could be the end that all of us must inevitably face. Goodbyes are never easy to say, to those we love, and those who came into our lives quietly, and unsuspectingly, leave permanent marks on our hearts and bittersweet memories etched forever in our minds.
Despite the trivialities that sometimes consumed our lives, all of us know how important people truly are. People are invaluable. Irreplaceable. We need not to have the events of 9.11 to remind us of it.
We only have one life to live, so while we're at it, we might as well make it the best. After all, isn't it a terrifying thought of waking up one day years down the road, only to find that we've lived a life full of regrets?
"In the morning when you wake up
Open your eyes to a new day
Look around at the gifts you've got
You've been so lucky along the way"
Yes, it a cliche, but it's also the truth.
CARPE DIEM. SEIZE THE DAY.
"I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
'Do anything For you
We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been togther
Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life
I'll always remember
The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could've guessed that you and I ...
Somehow, someday
We'd have to say goodbye.
You've helped me find
The strgenth inside
And the courage
To make all my dreams come true
How will I find
Another friend
Like you
Two of a kind
That's what we are
And it seemed
Like we were always winning
But as our team
is torn apart
I wish we could go
Back to the beginning
The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could've guessed that you and I ...
Somehow, some way
We'd have to say goodbye.
Somehow today...
...we have to say goodbye"
