The Meaning Of A Friend...
I would pray to God at night, to send me someone who would light up my life.
All I did was look out of the window, and pray to the moon,
What I didn’t know, is that you’d come so soon.
.
.
.
.
.
You met my gaze and shook my hand,
The look in your eyes shook my land.
You then spoke a few words and walked away,
I just stood there still,
Wanting you to stay.
We met like this everyday,
And as days went by, you had more words to say.
I knew we were friends,
But I’d ‘forget,’
I asked you then,
And you just shyly nodded your head.
From then on, not only words but also our meetings increased,
I then promised to you,
That yours was the hand I’d never release.
We grew closer and closer as every minute went by,
Our friendship was more beautiful than any star that twinkled in the sky.
I promise, I didn’t mind when you left me and went to God,
I had asked him for someone, but mistakably not forever,
I ma sorry, I ‘forgot.’
You lightened up my life and about that I swear,
We will always remain friends and now I can say that our friendship is
More as beautiful as any star in the sky
Because you are one up there…
