for my dear friend

I know I only think about you when I do not have any other option.
I know you will still patiently wait for me,
I know you will sit with me and listen to me,
And smile and console me,
You know I love you,
You know I love you when I want to,

But my dear, here I open out my heart to you
No matter what,
No matter how much effort it takes me to build this up,
I will.

With every ounce of my will,
I’ll make the effort to be your friend,

When the world crushes down on me,
I know you’ll be there.
Not reminding me of the many wrongs I did to you,
You will hold my hand,
And look into my eyes and hug me.

I know you will,
And that’s why this attempt.
This meagre attempt to say thanks.

To say thanks for all that you have done,
For being there with me,
For understanding me very well,
Even though I am hardly able to reciprocate.
I say thanks to you, and only to you.

And as I wind up,
I want you to only close your eyes,
And smile into the fresh breeze,
And I will capture that moment forever,
My dear friend.
