A special dedication, to a special friend

To that special friend, that I've known for my whole life.

You were always the figure of cheerfulness, in front of people you never showed sorrow and even if you are shedding tears, they are tears of happiness. From young we were good friends, you seen me grow up, in a lot of ways, you might even seen me crash and burn before. Whatever the things that happened, you witness most of them.

Recent years, things worsen. And I have never seen such turbulence. I never really imagined that things would have a such a sudden twist. From that moment when you told me things had changed, my heart has nothing but grief for you.

You've always been so strong, and I've never seen you shed tears about it, instead, you seen me shed a lot of tears because of it. I may never understand how you felt, until I myself gets involved in the same problem, which I, and everyone else would wish not to ever happen.

I will not tell you to accept your family, it may be your duty, it may be your responsibility as the eldest son, but I will still not say such words to you, for you have suffered, and you deserve to have your freedom; I will not say that you can't live without the shop, for you are capable of other greater things than just spraining and sweating your life out; I will not ever, ever tell you to accept that woman, who has ruined everything- a beautiful family, a beautiful parental and child relationship, a beautiful place to stay, a beautiful and secure future, for you have the rights not to accept her. But I will tell you this, which you might have already realize.

Bear with it

Simple as that, but difficult to do. It's hard, but you still have to do it.

I feel really bad for not being able to be back over home to help you out, if you have no ride back home, heck I'll drive all the way to the airport; no time for gym? I'll get you up at 6am just for it. Need a ride to school? Just call me up!

You will never walk this life alone, for you have us, your friends. Be it whether they are your new ones, or old ones. Whether they are now in the same place as you are, or across the ocean, sitting helplessly in front of the computer whilst listening to you suffer.

Be strong, and pray for a better future, that's what we all can do right now.

ps: Now my macbook has tears! haha

A little song suggestion. "I will be" and "Lift me up" by Christina Aguilera. Good listen to it, you'll love it, especially when you're in this situation. Good luck! Friend.
