On summer days

-all things come to an end......all winters become springs...and spring turns to fall.....and fall to summer...-

I slowly walked away from school. It suddenly seemed quiet and dull.Plus, the sky was kinda gloomy blue (I felt like I was in a Coldplay video...).My sense of hearing got heightened as if it was a new-born ear (right....).A radio suddenly blared out of the blue.From that moment on, I knew the winds of change blew onto my face.School bowed out and summer finally greeted me with a kiss and its characteristic sunny smile.

My freshmen year has finally ended.Now,it is just memories filled with both joy and sadness and one helluva experience.It's still new to me.I can't believe that I'm not really a freshmen anymore but becoming a sophomore.

I saw the Grade 6 batch practicing their graduation and congratulated their valedictorian, knowing that I experienced that Grade 6 life. I once heard that "graduation march", I wore the toga and I felt that sense of pride of finally accomplishing something good. Now, as a schoolyear ends, I never felt so wistful in my whole entire life and the memories suddenly flooded my mind.

I also saw the 4th year batch saying thanks to us undergrads for the times they have shared with us. They'll not be with us next year and they're going to march with their diplomas soon. I'm at a loss for words. All I can say is, I haven't felt the emotions yet of never studying in my alma mater ever again but I do know how it feels like when you're leaving something you've known for so long (Grade 6 coming to me again....).

I sank to my bed and saw the clouds basking with the fading sun.Oh summer! Time has flown so fast. I feel like as if I just finished the freshmen orientation. But no, summer has come and I know summer will be gone too.

In a way,I will always leave a piece of my soul in each stage of my life. I left a part of me in my Grade 6 and now, in my 1st year life. It bleeds sometimes, me being a person who always wants to remember the good ol' days. Yes, summer has finally come. I embrace it with open arms and love it to the core. But, like a classmate once said "It cuts like a knife.". I'm no longer a freshmen. And summer is here to be like that in-between place. With that, I respectfully bid goodbye to the bygone years of my life...and welcome a new and rising sun.

-time goes by....it leaves traces.....it leaves memories.......-
