flashbacks

depression lingers,
after so long.
but a small talk today,
made me stop and think.
flashbacks.
dated from the first day i was born.
years, months, days, minutes, seconds ago,
facets of my life being presented
like powerpoint sides.
Emotive. Provocative.
Thousands of emotions,
thoughts,
expressions,
some i'll never ever forget.
And i won't.
maybe life wasn't that bad afterall.
Yes, friends came into my life
and left.
Yet one stayed.
Or at least i thought she will
and she did.

And i prayed that very night,
for i thank God for bringing life when i was despair,
for bringing me light through her.
I thank Him for her presence.

i say my prayers tonight.
