To Dear Shuwaaa

Dear Wijemuni Shalani Apsara De Zoysa, I know You’ll Scan This ASAP, So Let’s Start... To be Honest I can’t Remember the First Day We Actually Met (You know this already), But I remember your chubby face back then and Back then I had Never Spoken to Girls that are My Age So That was kinda New to Me? I mean I’m Obviously Shy Back then (Still am Now lol), I mean Since Our Dads were Good Friends I think we connected Automatically (Guess the connection must be genetic) I mean we’re not 100% like each other but still we got each other and I guess we never had to change the way we are to be with each other, So that was convenient. I mean as kids we usually didn’t hangout much so I guess we didn’t get the time to tolerate each other that much and once we got together we were adults so I guess that saved a lot of trouble. I mean obviously we went on trips together I mean when we were a bit older when my dad booked trips I always ask “Will u guys come?” and if He said “Not this Time” I was like “Ugh, Then it’s gotta be boring”. I remember onetime when my dad invited one of his friend’s family and I was like “Won’t Wasantha Uncle Come?” and He was like “No but this Uncle and His Sons will Come” and I was pretty bored, I mean sure I had no problem with those guys and I became friends with them too but I was always really looking forward to hangout with someone my age, because in our family My sister and I had a cousin that was the Same age as my sis (Ranuka Ayya) and I was always alone I mean even my other cousin sis paired up with my sister and other cousins were older than me, So I was always looking forward to have someone my age that I can closely related to, aka you, I mean we may not be bonded by blood but We acted more like cousins without the Bond Neh, So Yes Meeting You was one of the Best Things that Happened to Me, I mean I didn’t realize it back then, But When we got older I realized it. I mean There were moments when we thought alike, and some where we didn’t, So what? even siblings Have that Problem, Even though you’re younger than me (hahaha) you were pretty much more understanding than the rest of my friends back then and till today, I mean You’re My Best Friend and The Only Best Friend I’ve got and YOU’RE GOING AWAYYYY :( I mean yeah we don’t hangout much even though we’re like 10 mins car ride away from each other, but now the feeling will be different, cuz we know we won’t meet each other in a long time (yes 6-8 months are long) I mean you’re leaving at the Age where we both need friends to hangout or Gossip but I know we can Call and Stuff But Who Knows? You’ll be Busy and So will I ! But I’ll make sure to take a call atleast 3-4 or more times a month!!! I mean I never found a person like you before I mean who thought the same way I did, Who did everything for their friends, or who understands their friendships and who has a temper close to mine (lol) I guess the reason we didn’t fought each other that much was because of all of These Characteristics you and I both had. I mean we Both had Rough Times. We Lost People who were Dear to Us but Still Here we are through thick and thin We had a close bond we didn’t know within Us, I mean I’m your only guy Best Friend and You were My Only Girl Best friend I mean because of That Both of Us didn’t Risk our Friendship to Anything. I know this is a Huge Paragraph but I think You can Read this Again When You Feel Bored or Down or when you feel alone, (I mean ofc you can call me but I might be asleep or at my uni ) I mean I don't Have to Say All the stuff we did during our years here neh? I think we both remember those stuff lol. The Thing That I wanna Say to You is that You’re an Amazing Grown Ass Woman (not an older one lol) You’re so Kind, Caring, Loving and a Person who Values Friendship. You’ll always be blessed by that no matter where you are, you might not have us or your family everytime but still you have these amazing qualities which other people tend not to have, also I know you’re sometimes act a bit rude and gets mad easily but I know those are with reasons too. That’ll save your ass from haters so don’t worry about that too but always TRY TO BE THE BIGGER PERSON even if you don’t feel like it cuz the world is always testing us, so you got to deviate from normal people to be at peace. fire with fire won’t always work so I hope you keep that in Mind too. I know this is a Goodbye letter but you got to read these too, You know how much I like giving advices lol :) Because One Day You’ll be this amazing woman and haters will try to bring you down but you got to stand up for yourself in a way that no one else does, with a heart full of kindness and positivity. And also let the past stay in the past don’t revolve around your past, Always look forward to the future.
