for the one I had to apologise to

I thought I was getting old
When I didn't remember the day you got older

I thought I was a good friend
Until I forgot the birthday of a great friend

Then again...

What is aging if not to be embraced?

What is remembering if we can't accept the fact that we will forget?

This is for the one who I love dearly
For a friend who is so unique
For her uniqueness makes her stand out from the crowd
Even though I know she doesn't like crowded places.

This is for the friend who I known for nearly 3 years
For she had left me here for nearly 6 months (or 6 months to be exact?)
For her presence felt greater through absence
Even though I know my saying that makes no sense at all

This is for her who I respect so much
For her focus and strength
For her loving and care
Even though its hard to get through just plainmutual friendship

Right now I am missing her so much
Right now I'm feeling so guilty that I want to cry but am at the office so cannot (hahaha)
Right now I'm imagining her daily dosage of big hugs that she promises me when she comes back home
Right now ... I'm waiting for her to read this.
Right now ... I'm expecting her to smile.

Here's to a young lady who just recently turned 24 last Saturday, 10th March 2007.

Here's to a young lady who can beat the Gilmore Girls with her words-per-second record.

Here's to a friend. Who grew inside my heart.

Here's to Farisa.

(sorry, I so wanna make a birthday toast but lets save it for June ya!
