I've never had true friends. I don't know what friendship means. There is a friendship I see in the movies - a concept that seems more filmy than real. How can someone be this selfless I'd wonder? It was unreal. I was selfish. And so was everyone in my world till now. Until I met you.
You didn't care. You just loved my company. I was this spaceship that landed in your path. A spaceship full of surprises. You loved unraveling that box of surprises. Everyday it was something new.
Soon you realized the spaceship was broken in some places. It had rusted away because of an arduous journey. You still didn't care. You gave everything to the spaceship. You looked after it with complete selflessness. You listened to it malfunctioning at the darkest hours of the night. You watched the blurry stars with it until they became clearer one day. You were there for the spaceship - it was your friend.
Sometimes the spaceship burst into colourful lights. Sometimes it was lying down still, mourning over broken stars. Mostly, the spaceship started loving your company too. It could drone on hours and hours about its lost journeys, about it's philosophies, about books... You trusted the spaceship and became an ardent devotee to the process of getting to know the spaceship better. For this, you immersed in books. You unlocked the door towards a world unknown to you - just for the spaceship.
The spaceship was a selfish one. It told you it would go away one day and then you'd just be a memory. It didn't know what friends were. It didn't know what expectations were. But the spaceship was not evil, it just hadn't met you. When the spaceship met you, it realized there is no thank you and sorry, the words it had been using all its life. These words meant nothing in front of the pure acts of friendship you executed. It was inspired and awed. Sometimes fear gripped too. But you changed something inside of the spaceship.
I don't know what it is, but you changed something inside me in a profound manner - and I'd always be thankful for that.
I can never give back everything that you did. Maybe in the same quantity but never in the same intensity. You were my singlemost friend, my machi, my anna, in this brief moment in my years and years of life. I would always remember you. Or rather I would remember all the moments. Because I cannot remember you. You, you will change everyday from now on. You'll become a different person. I'll remember the moments the most. The brief moments in time of pure friendship and nothing else. Of learnings, of passions, of care... I hope for you to never change but that will be selfish. The world needs you. We are all connected. You impacted my life, tomorrow you'll impact someone else's. You will change for that. But I'll never forget the impact you had on me. It was hard hitting. Sometimes I felt shamed and sometimes I felt in heaven. Both times, I learnt so much.
I will remember the breakfast discussion, the coffee discussion, the lunch discussion... Discussion, so many discussions... I've never been at such comfort. I lost myself in those discussions. It was a pleasure similar to reading a book. The world around melted into absurdity while the topic of discussion became more beautiful. Thank you for being an incredible listener. It's the greatest skill you have.
Thank you also for teaching me the meaning of being humble. Of hardwork. I was proud to be your friend. Specially of someone so sincere in work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. You are so capable. I want you to rise and rise and fly like a bird in the sky. Away from all this mortal combats of life. I want you to charter a path of your own and keep progressing.
I wish you were God. You are just human and that's a great limitation. If you were God, the world would've been a better place. As humans you have limitations but I assure you that every life you've touched has blossomed. I hope in the next decades of your life, you continue to enrich not only yours but people's lives.
