To You My Friend

5 months ago

I had this dream last night, about my late childhood friend, before I continue, don't worry it wasn't a scary dream, I promise.💝

In the dream, we had a little chat, and all through, she seemed very happy, as she kept a beautiful smiling face throughout.

Seeing her smile like that makes me very happy, I told her about my son and she was so proud of me.

Maybe it is because I thought about her almost all the time. It has been over three years since we lost her, but it still feels like yesterday. Until now if someone had told me she was leaving so soon I wouldn't have believed it. I guess no one who ever lost a loved one suddenly would believe that.

Lately, when her thoughts come to my mind I stop being sad. I have learned to think about all the good memories we had together and I believe she is in a far better place than this world. And someday we shall meet again, at a place where loss and pain do exist.

She wouldn't have let me feel sorry or sad for her, my friend Aijimoh would have wanted me to think about her and remember the good times we shared.

As I'm growing older, I'm beginning to learn to accept that death is not the end but simply a passage to another realm. And just because they leave us behind now does not mean we won't ever see them again. The best we can do for the loss of loved ones is to keep their memories alive in our hearts and not to be sad about them.

So, when I woke up this morning I played this song, "see you again, by Wiz Khalifa." It has become a tradition for me to listen to the song in honor of her memory any day her thoughts cross my mind.

For me, it is a way to keep her alive in my heart, and "See You Again" is just a perfect song for such.

I may not be great at singing but when I sing along to this song I do my best, and I do enjoy doing that all the time. I always imagined she was watching me sing for her and that she loved it.

It is a song in tribute to the late famous fast and furious actor, Paul Walker who passed away in a tragic car accident, on November 30th, 2013
I first heard it as a soundtrack in the movie Fast and Furious 7, in 2015, my body chilled, and it hit so deep, that I remembered tears rolling down my cheeks but I also enjoyed every bit of the song, it is just beautifully made.

Ever since then, this song has lived rent-free in my head. I lost count of how many times I had put it on repeat, and each time, it felt brand new in my ear just like the first time which gave me goosebumps all over again.

Though it is a song composed with a moody heart, the singer has managed to talk about a lost one in such a way that when I listen, I do not feel sad but cherish what we had.

It made me reflect on family, friends, and life, and how our time is so short.

And it taught me to always enjoy every moment as much as I can before it's all gone.

This has always been my favorite part of the song;

How can we not talk about family when family is all that we have?

And then,

It has been a long day without you my friend, and I will tell you all about it when I see you again.

I felt it in my heart. that I shall see my friend again, and in a better place than this world.

And to anyone who is grieving, don't be sad that much, take solace in knowing that they are in a better place watching over us and someday we shall see again.

These are my musical thoughts today, inspired by the loss of my childhood best friend.

May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace, To You Aijimoh, My Dear Friend

Thank you very much for reading me and for your support, have a lovely week ahead.

Bye, @funshee✍❤🥰🙏
