Friendship Day 2020

The last one...

This friendship day officially tells us all that this is our last one in school. This painfully brings back all the cherished moments of the past. Since we all got together, we had always waited for this day. This day built the notes of our friendship.

But when I recalled the memories of the past, they made me cry. I couldn't feel happy or joyful about them. I was missing those moments. First time on this day, I didn't even feel like wishing anyone. Even if I could meet my friends I was not fulfilled. I was caught in the web of loneliness. I sticked to the insecurities of the future. First time I regretted growing up. I just didn't want to face the harsh reality. Maybe I was not strong enough. Those who were with me had gone already and those who are there, will they also go? The question popped time and again. 

I lacked the courage to attend my pain and grief.  A day when I used to run and collect some bands, selecting the best for my friends. But today I am in grief and pain. Everyone is around me yet I am solitary. Perhaps, the truth is that the ones with whom I had always celebrated this day won't even be reading this...
