以前常常會想，朋友是甚麼意思。有時候，覺得我好像不斷的在重複高一的生活：每年都是新學校、新老師、新同學、新規定、新文化...新朋友。
有些學校，好朋友多到四、五十個人，大家都像一大群麻雀一樣聚在一起，有不止息的吵鬧。週末的時候，大家一起擠在一個人家混就是一種幸福。其他學校，有著小小的群組，午餐都四、五個人而已，我們有自己的秘密，自己的世界。有些朋友，陪我經歷了這一切，現在也常常跟他們聯絡。有些朋友，隨著我飛機的起飛也離開了我的生活。
有一陣子，這樣的關係讓我很困惑，朋友怎麼能感覺這麼親，卻又這麼容易失去呢？幾個禮拜的時間，隔著一個海洋，你們就突然沒有甚麼話題了。他們的生命開始有你不知道、不了解的東西。你跟不上他們的腳步，他們也忘了你在世界的另一端的生活。
但是，現在看回去，我想我太執著於定義「朋友」這個字了。能夠快快樂樂地在一起就是朋友。能夠一起開玩笑，一起嘻鬧，一起創造出美好的回憶，一起珍惜在一起的時光，這就是朋友了。或許到最後，朋友只是在FB上看到他們結婚了，這樣微小的關係，但是沒關係。我祝福他們，也感謝他們是我的好朋友。
所以這首歌，是給我的好朋友們，甚至那些已經沒有聯絡的。
One of my best friend sent this to me when I was feeling down. It reminded me of the treasures I have.
I wondered a lot growing up, what does "friendship" mean. At times, it felt like I was going through freshman year again and again in high school. Every year was new curriculum, new teachers, new classmates, new rules, new popular trend... new friends.
At some schools, we all gathered together like a big flock of bird. It was always chit-chat and music. My social circle was a good 40, 50 people. It's amazing how we all fitted in one house on the weekends. At other schools, there were smaller circles - no more than 4, 5 people at lunch together. We had inside jokes and silly games. Some friends lasted through the years and even now I still hear from them. Other disappeared as soon as my plane left the horizon.
It used to bother me that friends can be so close and yet how easily it is to loose the friendship. A couple of week and across an ocean, suddenly there weren't much to talk about. Suddenly there are things in their life that you don't know and will never understand. You couldn't keep track of their worries and they forgot what you were doing on the other side of the world.
Yet, looking back now, I think I was simply too caught up on trying to define the word. Friendship is having fun together. Is being able to joke and laugh. It's creating memories together and treasuring the time you have with each other. Friendship might be no more than seeing their wedding announcements on Facebook but that's okay. I can still wish them happiness and thank them for being wonderful friends.
So this is to my good friends, even the ones I don't really talk to anymore.
