watching honey&clover reminds me of what takemoto said in one earlier episode.

"sono toki boku wa, toutotsu dakedo shizuka ni minna de sugosu kurisumasu wa. kore ga saigo nano da to kanjita.
"at that moment, i abruptly realized that this was the last christmas that we'd get to spend quietly together.

soshite boku wa, mabataki wo kurikaesu.
and I keep blinking.

maru de.....shatta wo kiru you ni. kokoro no dokoka ni yakisukeba ii to.
like snapping the shutter of a camera, wishing to imprint this moment somewhere in my heart.

amai keeki no nioi to minna no warai koe no naka de."
admist the sweet scent of the cake and everyone's laughter."

and it never fails to make me sad.
i cannot imagine the day when everyone moves on and go their separate ways.
i know that will eventually happen but it's just the human nature to cling on to what you had.
perhaps the best thing to do is to treasure the time now.
so that when the parting comes, you'll be left with memories (be it good or bad).
