Remember the first.

its just one more full week to POP week. and yeah. to tell the truth. i feel relieved. For things have not been exactly smooth sailing in camp the past weeks with all the changes and troubles caused by a certain someone, whom i shall name N whose behavior currently i do not believe befits a commander and certainly unfair to say the least. which leaves me here once again disillusioned with army life and indifferent to ranks. but yeah. who cares about commanders. like i said, i do not care shit bout the so called 'integrity' of the platoon or company or whatever they say it is. but what i do care, is for the men inside these groupings. the brothers we undergo fire and hell with. I mean, they could rename the company or even disband it. but my friends will stay my friends and my brothers will stay my brothers. and so hang in there my friends, all this will be over soon.

Remember the first,
day we met,
total strangers,
unsure and shy.

Remember the first,
steps we ran.
Brothers in arms,
comrades in step.

Remember the first,
time we marched,
waves of motion,
steps uncertain.

Remember the first,
time we kissed the floor,
pain in our arms,
steel in our hearts.

Remember the first,
bullets fired.
Me with the rifle,
you right behind.

Remember the first,
nights outfield.
neath the stars,
and towering trees.

Remember the first,
songs we sang.
pushing our spirits,
echoing through the ranks.

Remember the first,
Quarrels we had,
flaming words,
yet never burned to heart.

and remember the first,
of everything.
of pain and joy,
of broken backs and dripping sweat.
for it shall be remembered by me at least.
as the first
and only.

yeah. haha. sort of emoing in prelude to pop. haha. after all one will make friends after staying 3 mths under the same roof in the same room with the same ppl. talking cock everyday, taking shit everyday, doing rubbish everyday, singing songs everyday, making fun of each other everyday. yeah. thanks guys. We had one hell of a time.

anyway. on another note. saturdays are always the best day of the week. :)
