My life in black and white
Puzzle Pieces
Just like a game of connect the dots
We learn to derive things from previous experiences,
We learn to accept the realization that indeed everything happens for a reason.
And that every experience is a learning lesson.
We learn to smile, laugh and cry
We smile when it hurts, laugh to hide the pain
and love till it hurts no more
this is the beauty of it all
and I wouldn't have it any other way

Sometimes we forget that the memories are there to be remembered, and its the people we used to share them with that are worth letting go.
These memories that seemed a blast from the past, that would seem so long ago, I don't really know when they started creeping back to my mind. I knew that I had already turned the switch off, and just like a worn out usb, I had already clicked reformat. That's why I couldn't seem to understand, why I'm suddenly having a blast from the past.
Starting with a small chat with a friend, I remember how you used to speak with an accent, and how you tried your best to fluently say words in the native tongue to fit in. I remember the days we would bicker on who ditched who, or who was late and all. Do you remember the day I asked you to eat an unusual food that you would've never tried in your entire lifetime?
These were little things that made me laugh and smile. Then there's the pain and the pang of agony, there was the time you confessed that you liked her, the time you asked help with her surprise, the time we just stopped talking, the time we just stopped being friends.
People ask what happened to you and me, and maybe you will never know what happened? Usually I just brush it off and say that " We just stopped talking, maybe were better off as not friends". Maybe it really is for the best bro, but if there's one last thing on my mind that I wouldn't mind telling you, its "Thank You".
Thank you for the little piece of memories, that will always make laugh a little, thanks for saying that favorite line of ours, that I know I will forever attribute to you. Thank you for trying an unusual dish for me.
Above all, thank you for making my heart stronger, for letting me see the potential kind of love I could give. That I could be broken, and that I can put myself back together. Thank you for contributing to the stronger and better me. I just hope I could have done the same for you.
