YOU ARE INDEED A FRIEND!
YOU ARE INDEED A FRIEND!
I woke up with a heavy heart.
I turned and looked.
Staring out of the window.
Behold the beauty of nature.
I saw the stars showing their glittering faces
And the moon appearing so comely
I thought of life . I thought of myself.
I had a long way to go. I had burdens to trade.
I had no supporter, mentor, or friend.
I had a nostalgic feeling when I clearly remembered
My good old friends and
Then my sweet pain multiplied.
I lived a lonely life.
Not because Mr. hatred had taken full occupancy
But because there was truly no one to love
Or so I believed
I tried to put my brain to test
Though flipping through the pages of
My really stuffed memory
Was not a thing to joke about.
I thought of my past, my old environment.
Then I tried thinking of all the people
That I have seen. met or ever had an encounter with
Trying to figure out the friends I had
Did i really have a friend?
A being so close to my heart?
I needed just six letters to take me
Away from my lonely world..
A world where I acted as both the servant
And the master and king in dominance.
A sad, steel and loveless life
Which I guessed was close to its end.
I had concentrated on my body
And it seemed as though I had
Completely erased thoughts of my soul.
I had a friend. Yeah. ..
I was reminded about you.
I recalled that there was someone like you.
A special person who really deserves to be called
Regarded and known as a friend.
The one I itched for and I really needed.
The door was flung open. And behold I saw you.
My hidden dimples forced their way through and
Alas I smiled.
I had got what I needed, a friend.
Yeah. .. You are indeed a friend!
