Now and Forever

Now and forever
you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didnt we find the ecstacy
Didnt we share the daylight
When you walked into my life
Now and forever
I'll remember all the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken
We had a moment
Just one moment
That will last beyond a dream,
Beyond a lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do
All we got to do
Now and forever
I will always think of you
Didnt we come together
Didnt we live together
Didnt we cry together
Didnt we play together
Didnt we love together
And together we lit up the world
I miss the tears
I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met
and all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I
could always be with you
The way we used to do
Now and forever
I will always think of you
Now and forever
I will always be with you

I watched a movie called "A League of their own." many many years ago. Think it must be more than 15 years ago. Watched then with my best friend in secondary school. Migrated to Australia some 14 years ago. Have no idea what happened to him. Coz I wrote an email one day, but didn't get a reply since.

Spoke to him about Christianity one day over icq (does anyone know what that is - something similar to MSN). He was a Catholic but has told me he became a Christian but joined an AOG church. We did had a bit of argument over experiences. Wonder I did offend him. But it is so ironic, coz I was thankful he embraced the Christian faith but when we talked about the faith, I realised that the church wasn't teaching the right stuff. Perhaps as a headstrong teenager then, thinking I know it all, out to conquer the world kind of mindset, I didn't say things with a thought for him. He struggled probably with his beliefs and had just been touched by the love of the people in that church. He was a young believer. Rather than encouraging him to seek the faith, I guess I was more concerned in winning an argument than his soul.

This is one of my deepest regrets in life. I had not heard from him since.

Things like this teaches you about what in the book of Isaiah said, "A bruised reed thou shall not break." I learn the hard way.

If God is willing, I really hope to restore back our friendship.

Ironically this movie was the last movie I ever watched with him. The theme of the movie was friendship. The song above was the theme song.
