Take note uwu:

On the left is what you say, or think. On the right is his, and in the middle is both. The concept is from HanaYume23 ahahahaha!! Italicized text are thoughts or memories, while the bolded text are the ones being said or are in the present.

On the stage, I see you smiling as you received your diploma. Despite the defeaning cheers of fellow schoolmates, I hear nothing.

I see you below the stage, with eyes full of sadness. Everyday, I ask myself;

Am I worthy to be your friend?

Am I worthy of you?

"Could I have done more?"

For the first time this year, I say hello.

Hello to new beginnings, hello to a brand new perspective. Hello to my new neighborhood, to new friends.

Hello to a new year, hello to new faces. Hello to a new role, hello to what may come my way.

Hello to the final year of my high school, to the first day of classes.

I sat by the window, on the 4th row. From the corner of my eye, I saw you sat right beside me.

Those moments were awkward, but nonetheless, I turn to the person right beside me.

"Hello, can we be friends?"

I laughed. It was very peculiar on how I made my very first friend on my last year of high school.

I followed your laugh. I found it amazing on how we befriended each other, despite barely knowimg each other.

Days and months passed by. Our friendship became even more  stronger. Through different problems, we arose together. 

I was in awe when you help others in need. Specially when I am in need, you'd always be there for me, cheering me on.

I will, and always will be here, cheering you on, just like when you were there for me. But there were times I asked myself, have you had enough rest?

Have I considered your feelings once I'm in a bicycle? Days passed as the Inter-High came nearer and nearer. I practiced hard, only thinking of winning. I started to spend less and less time with you.

But have you forgotten, that you're not alone? That you have teammates? That you have me to lend an ear?

It was my fault...

That we've become distant.

There were times I tried approaching you, yet I was afraid of confronting you.

I'd always see you, everywhere. From the room, up to the corridor, til the school canteen, you were always near me. I knew that, yet...

Why didn't I fix things up?

As you went down the stage, I ran away from the stage. I never knew that the happiest day of my life can also turn the saddest.

Sudden shock. I felt a pang within my heart. Without any second thoughts, I ran.

Ran away from you..

Ran towards you...

Ran to where it all started.

Never look back, just run. If I look, I might hurt myself more.

Don't stop, just chase until I reach you. Please, come back.

I'm here, so please...

Listen...

Talk...

... to me.

I knew you were faster so I halted before you passed me. The agony of our friendship makes me wish you weren't here, yet you're here, waiting.

Do you even realize how hard is it for me not to be with you? Every single day, I've wished for this time to come, time for us to rebuild everything that was broken apart.

"Sorry."

From that single word, it poked different emotions- happiness, sadness, frustration.

Yet everything seemed to become clear again. It seemed to fix everything in a snap.

For the last time, I say hello.

Hello to a friendship full of misery.

To a friendship full of misunderstandings.

For now it's time for us to bid
goodbye and start anew.
