I Remember
I remember when I first met you, it wasn’t like all the others, I felt that I could trust you with what’s inside me, I couldn’t believe that I was opening my world to a complete stranger that I have never met in my life, or would possible never meet in real life.
Yes I do remember the chats we’ve once had. Surprisingly I had so much fun talking and responding to your emails back and forth. Something I never really do, but in your way of talking I could honestly feel that I could trust you, for one, you didn’t know me, and two; we weren’t ever going to meet.
We spoke so much about everything and anything.
I now know why we had that bond.
Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all that I have.
But it all ended a year ago. Sometimes I wonder if you were real, if you were just a fantasy that came to my rescue, someone who knew things about my life and what type of person I am.
See even though I still remember you, and you aren’t no longer a part of this life.
We created so many memories, even though they were just online my online friend.
My Internet Friend
I remember the day we met
And how we met,
You reviewed on my story
And out of that grew something else
I finally found a friend
In our messaging back and forth,
I remember sitting up in the early
Hours of the morning waiting on your reply
You didn’t know at first from what country
I was from, eventually we shared
More details on where we from,
As I was on the search for a new home,
You calm me and said,
“Don’t rush you will just know
Once you step into your new home”
you were so right,
it took a lot of houses to make me feel
that thing you spoke about.
As the coming weeks began
We no longer called each other
On our screen names, but our birth names.
You were someone I truly thought
Was amazing no doubt,
I became more and more interested in you,
My daily life was filling space where
We get to speak.
Oh how I miss those nights
Sitting on face book chatting
Until the wee hours of the morning,
The first time we heard each other’s voice
Made me know you even more real
Thank I’ve thought.
We’ve become instant best friends.
You were what I looked out to daily<
Having a smile on my face as I would receive
And incoming message from you.
My days were full of sunshine and hope.
Happiness and pleasure,
Cos of what you once meant to me.
We are now no longer friends.
Our bridges has been cut short,
I believe you were sending to me
From God, to help me with things
I couldn’t accept of myself,
You saw something in me,
You saw greatness inside of me.
Yet our paths was only allowed to met
For the next phase of our lives,
So go on my dear Internet friend,
May our paths be full of joy and hope?
Till we meet in another life,
Smiling and happier than ever before.
This poem just drove in my head, I guess sometimes words find you when you least expect them too. She’s not the only online friend I have made, there are so many, and thankfully there part in my life isn’t over. Its like a script, when a director gives it to the actors, each one partake the part they are portraying and as the story goes son, you will note that as the story moves along, somehow along the way, some of the characters will disappear. If you the reader you will note this and you would ask, but what happened to that girl or that boy, are they ever making an appearance again. Well as all stories you may never see that person, somewhere along the way, the scriptwriter has written this character out seeing as there bit or there part in the story has come to an end, they have done what they were there for and no its time too move on.
Lucky for me the others like my old friend who were once upon my best friend, her part in my life came to an end, its like relationships, once you broken up there is no place for you to be in that persons life, even though you would love to be, but that isn’t how life works.
“We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.” – Unknown
“The Tao Te Ching says, when I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go is God’s law.” –
Mary Manin Morrissey
“We take a risk when we open our hearts because the truth is, if we open our hearts, we will get hurt. You can’t open your heart and not have some hurt because you’re in a human experience. Even if it’s the love of your life and you have many wonderful, deepening, growing, powerful years together, it’s a human experience and that person will pass over. Love takes courage. Be courageous.”
