"Niks, I'll miss you", he said with tears in his eyes.
"I'll miss you, too"
O! dear friend, if I had to sit and count the times you lightened up my life, I wudn't have enuf moments in a day to hold it. There wudn't be enuf songs to sing, for all those times when you understood me more than I cud. All will soon be gone by the waves of change and time - leaving nuthing but empty shores behind.
I clutch the thoughts of you close to my heart - I do not want it to depart. Yet I sense it slipping away...But like it or not, I am walking away and wud be gone!
A friend of mine once told me that no one throws precious things, friendships and memories away just for no reason. Because when you throw it away, you simply throw a part of you, too. Friendships don't die - they just retreat far back and sometimes also forgotten with the passing of time. But some day it will come back - when the time and the reason is right.
Each friendship has its own significance. There mebbe short-lived and passing friendships but somehow it still manages to leave footprints in ur heart. Because friendships are borne out of people and its the people who make our lives what it is - happy, sad, joyous, memorable and even miserable. Yes, we do come across some jerks at some points in life. But it all adds up to the bag of goodies called LIFE.
I am happy with the bag that is alloted to me. It may not be perfect - but it's made of many precious things - wonderful friendships; amiable people; some odds of bad relationships; the joys of pleasant experiences; some warts of bad and testing times; some hurt, pain and agony; and much more. All of these have contributed to shape who I am. All of it is a gift from God - all the good was for my happiness and all the bad was for my learning and growth. It indeed is a beautiful life. And, I feel it even more with all the wonderful friendships around me.
You've always walked besides me, shared my agony and exhilaration. You'll always be my best buddy no matter how far I am from you. I'll always pray - wherever you are, I hope that you are at peace with yourself and happy at your heart.

I surelly will miss ya!!!!! my dear friend!!
Hi Nikita,
When I read this, I feel touched, not just by the sensitivity you have, but by the sense of gratitude that the post shows, a sense of gratitude towards life and all that it offers and has to offer. Its not easy! Its not easy to have this sense of gratitude, for life does not just offer the goodies, however big or small the tough times be, we never like them, we have complaints. So this is something that's really touches. To be able to do this, requires an attitude that's forgiving, and that again is not easy.
I wouldn't philosophise too much, but I identify with what you have written. I also feel that everyone in one's life has a role to play, a role that's important to an experince we call life.
I remember alking to you so much, I remember the wonderful listener you are and you have been, I remember the advice the concern I also remember then not talking to you at all.
I remember being insensitive, I remember not being a good listener myself. May be I shouldn't say this, May be I should keep it only to myself...... but may be I need it, so much for myself, so much for my own peace, to say this.... Niki, I am sorry if I have hurt you, if I have said anything that might have hurt you.
I wanted to call you so many times, and probably listen, what stopped me was the intution that I am not a good listener, the intuition that I have been speaking more than listening to you, everytime I talked to you, what stopped me was the intuition that I have been insensitive while speaking...
I do wish to call you and congratulate you and I will sometime.
And see I feel so uncomfortable writing that I do wish you all the best, all the time. Idont know why, may be because Wishing sincerely is more important than writing that. I don't know.
I know I don't need to thank you, and I won't... I really don't feel anything about the fact that you have to go, you always had to go and I always knew this... You are somewhere a part of my being, all my friends are, I wouldn't say I will miss you, for one misses someone who goes away, but in that sense I really don't feel you are going anywhere.
May God bless you, and May you always cherish every moment of life, and may this feeling of gratitude towards life for all that it has offered, always enrich your experience.
Love,
Amit
What am I going to do without you, Niks?
