soon/ adv/ not long after the present time or the time mentioned;

within a short time.

that's the definition as provided in the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. what i find so interesting is the face that although we use this word so often since our days in primary school, i don't think we have ever realised and understood the full definition of it and for that matter, what it stands for.

i realised it

only now

with the onset of my departure and the leaving behind of loved and close ones, it's only natural for me to think about such things because really i won't see you fella until at least six months time. and that really is not a short time at all.

ah. i think i'm getting so emo right now.

it's alright, pokemon's up next.
