THE SOUND OF FRIENDSHIP

UNEDITED SAMPLE LITERARY ARTICLE
By Rachel Mae Joan Naluis Sansolis
IV - Isaac Newton


This sound never stops beating. It goes louder and louder as it continues to travel closer to my ears. It is really pleasant to hear, lightly to bear and worth enough to ponder. Surely, this is for all of us and no one is to be ostracized. I know everyone can relate for the sound I’m talking about is the sound of companionship. Its type which turned deeper and more sensible that nobody can ever reach and destroy its foundation, the bottom of it. That companionship which constantly turned to friendship, a deep relationship where we dwell, where we know each other well.

As I look back to the hefty lasting memories I’ve ever had with you, I felt ecstatic and I saw myself as a butterfly, flying high up into the sky, reaching for the buds which are steady waiting for me beyond. It seemed like I would never fall down because you’ll forever keep me hanging by your touch. It is as if rivers would never dry up for the thoughts of our lifetime friendship are always passers by of my mind, piercing the innermost part of my heart all the time. It is as if trees would never grow old because you are always there to keep me young and free from any surge of menace. I am forever thankful that I have you here. If ever I would turn to another year of my life, I would like to, but as the same time as you do so I’m with you.

I would never say goodbye because we will never come to an end. I shall say there is no end yet it is neither a part of my vocabulary nor a short word that would take you away from me. Even in the most silent part of my day, I can’t still find peace because you are always showering noise upon me. But I want you to know that noise isn’t a noise for me, it is you who keep on remembering and sharing the happiness, the sorrow, and the regrets that you have experienced. You never get tired of telling me how happy you are for having me close to you and for not being absurd of me telling you some pieces of advice when you are in trouble. I am likely to follow you wherever you go as if there is always a rope which extrudes me towards your linger.

And definitely, this is the time of our lives that we should know how to live by our own, not necessarily that we should be apart but at least, if I’m not around, you know where to go. By now, I can still feel that you are all supportive. I can feel that you are all intended to make me happy. I believe all these are the things that would instill you in me. I believe that no matter how life’s adversities strike its most onto mine, I will still be able to find you sturdy, standing straight in front of me, waiting for the time that I could set upright again and tell the world that I can face all the problems whenever, wherever, with you. I would always ask for the opportunity to be your guide so I could give you back everything you have given me before.

You have helped me a lot and you have turned me to a must- know individual. Thank you for doing so and I will always treasure you for I love you as who you are right now. I thank you for making an effort the very last time. You truly made me happy. I never did expect but I know that you would do so because I am already familiar with how deep your plans are. I admire you because despite every good thing we have had, you are still humble and so strong that you are not letting any destruction or gossip affect you. All of us, our group, our friendship, this I will carry until I grow up, until we find our own roads to travel yet I look forward to that certain time when we would meet each other again at some part of our journey to reminisce all the happenings in our lives which left a great impact and a mighty remarkable mark on our hearts.
