'Friend'

Last week a friend of mine gave me a letter, a letter describing her honesty and what she really thought about me and our friendship. the point of giving the letter was in her words, ''You have to let your loved ones and your friends know how much they mean to you when they are near you because when they are dead no matter how much you cry or scream, they won't hear you''. It got me thinking, am I always expressing my true feelings about others? am I letting the people I care about know how much I love them, well the answer was obviously 'NO'. So I am writing this small note to that friend of mine who made me realize something very important and valuable.


Dear Tharini,

The letter you gave was indeed something special. Thank you for making me feel loved, what can I say I am flattered and mostly honored. As a tribute to your honesty I am going to be totally honest in my letter. I really had no idea that you considered me to be a special friend of yours and you thought about me as a very nice person. You have always been a very good friend to me and you are one of the few people for whom I have opened my self to. Most of the friends I met were associating me to use me or because they needed someone to pass their time and be acquainted with. I don't have to be pretentious when I am with you guys and I love that. I have very few true friends and you are one of them. You are always very polite and kind to everyone, for an instance when we bug Ms. T and Ms. P(you know who :P) you always defend them and that is super nice and kind. You don't blame people in public or at least I have never seen you blaming anyone in public :P. Don't ever think that you hair is ugly because you look really pretty when you wear it like a half pony tail(that is what you call it right? hehe). Plus my mom says that you are the PRETTIEST girl in our lane :D. 
I may not say this all the time but you people mean a lot to me and I love u guys a lot. Remember how we talked about going shopping and going to all the restaurants when we are doing jobs and earning, w should really do that. We could also get drunk occasionally but since you are a non smoker and a non drinker I'll do that with Nadee Akki, LOL :P. We may go in different paths and be in different places in the future but you know what we should always keep in touch because I don't want to lose great friends like you. If you ever need a helping hand or a friend to talk to, you can always count on me. So what I am saying is I love you a lot and you mean a lot to me. Tharini Wijeyasiriwardena, you have my honor and respect.
I wish you all the success, may all the good blessings be with you and may you live a long, healthy and a happy life.

Take Care
