stay a little longer with me

while i was musing at the photographs that we took today, it dawned on me that we are already at the half way mark of our journey together as the honours class.

i have spent the past three years lamenting over the lacklustre of university life and reminiscing the days of my teenhood; but today, i realised what i missed most about my junior college days was simply a closely-knitted class where i belong to, and classmates whom i feel attached to. when you experience personal growth with a group of people, you will naturally feel more connected and bonded with them.

but people come and go, just like how parties often end when you just started warming up. i know that certain things in life are beautiful only because they are transient. i know that when we reach the next junction, we will still have to go our separate ways. but even so, it doesn't prevent people from drawing closer. simply because emotional investments cannot be made on a rational basis.

when the time comes and the party ends, i hope that i would not be swarmed by nostalgia and sentiment alone, but also with anticipation for our future ahead as colleagues in the occupation that we strongly believe in.

as for now, if you can and if you will, please stay a little longer with me.
