for my best friend

I think of you at night, 

And long to be by your side when 

You seem most lonely,

And are consumed by a sorrow that 

I can not stand to see you suffer from, 

I think of you until,

My room is bathed with the orange light 

Of the sunrise, 

And I curse the world 

For not granting you happiness,

I think of you even when

The birds begin to sing,

And though their songs are sweet,

To me it seems they cry out longingly,

I believe you deserve a life 

as beautiful as a dream

When finally I sleep,

I see you, brilliant and successful, 

your eyes sparkling,

Your words enchanting,

But always speaking the truth,

And I tell you  “I always knew, 

that your dreams would come true,

I never stopped believing in you,

My friend, go forth and triumph now,

For every corner of the world is in need of you”
