Dear friend，
I began the letter to you and I’m feeling as if I went back to my childhood.
When you moved in next door, I was still a timid and shy girl of ten．Being tall and at the age of thirteen，you seemed to be the same as those “dreadful boys” I know，who frightened and teased me a lot．For days，I didn't dare to speak to you until one day I passed your backyard and heard some music. I stopped with my mouth open as wide as my eyes when I saw you playing the violin so beautifully. You noticed me and smiled at your little audience，which dispelled all my embarrassment and fear at once．
How time flied，our friendship flourished 1ike grass in spring.
Remember we climbed the small hills together and explored the "haunted house" which was actually a discarded storehouse!
Remember you showed me how to play the violin when l made it sound 1ike a baby’s crying, how to swim when I was almost drowned and how to throw the basketball into the basket when it went in exactly the opposite direction?
Remember you told me that I would grow as tall as you and you had enough patience to wait for that day?
But you could never keep the promise. For two years later, your parents decided to move somewhere far away in another country. I could clearly see the excitement on your almost grown-up face. When you said goodbye and got into a car, a sudden horror and helplessness seized me.
"I am losing you, "I heard my heart pounding as tears rolled down my cheeks, "I can never see you again."
In the following days, there were no more knocks on the door, no more big frame showing up before I started,no more with a "have I frightened you” expression.
Soon on after, I entered a middle school. Three years passed quickly. Then I started my senior school life and got to know people from all walks of life. To my dismay, I found the adult world far too complicated. Grown-up people in the society wear many masques all the time, which they often switch easily. I was in such a state of confusion that I obstinately refused to grow up. In my dreams I always went back to my childhood when life was simple and we were carefree children. How I wanted to get rid of the endless anxieties confusion and fear on my journey to the grown up world.
It is often said that when someone in your life is gone, soon another person will take his place and play the same role. I don't think it is true, because I will never have the love like yours--the most childish yet the purest.
Remember me when you are away.
Remember me, till the ultimate of your days. |
