Seize the Day #
I wrote this begun in Late August, finish in 8/9/24
It was just another normal evening, a happy basketball game followed by dinner. A sudden but calm announcement shattered the the small town called "daily life". The impending event inflated every memory of the past into priceless treasures. In my future daily life, I will no longer see this person, and the established order of my life will be disrupted. This person is not just a passerby or a stranger, but an irreplaceable best friend for life
I forsaw that one day we would go our separate ways, and I had already learned to cherish even a simple happy basketball game opportunity. But... but, it was useless. Before I really knew the news, I didn't really realize how precious the gathering was. I didn't really ealize that you are the one and only existence in this world. I didn't really ealize that no one can replace you. I didn't really realize that our decade-long friendship was so precious, like a treasure.
The faucet in my face flow tears which is unstoppable. The salty water filled my mind, causing various treasures to float in my consciousness, drifting and drifting until they were stored in my collection vault. I still remember the silly chubby boy with a crew cut cumming machine oil at 3 am nonstop in Sham Shui Po. I still remember Derrick Rose being continuously three-pointed cooked by Kyrie Irving. I still remember the baseball battle in the pre-exam review class in elementary school. I still remember the friendship circle challenge We faced in form 3. I still remember our only argument was over a piece of bread. I still remember when you had big troubles, I was the only one who called you to help. I still remember the “Belt Fund League”. There are too many treasures, too many to count.
Meeting you on the journey of life is one of the proudest things in my life because 99% of people in the world will never meet a funny guy like you. It's not an exaggeration to say that you changed my life. The many attitudes and communication skills I learned from you are still in use today. Twenty years later? Ten years later? Five years later? One year later? What else will I learn from you then?
Farewell! But our journey of friendship is not over yet, not until the moment of death can we rest.
