• Our fated meeting was bestowed by the holy Lord,
    My once closest friend, most cherished treasure
    From sea to sea, our friendship stretched
    The knit-tight bond too vast and deep to measure
    I was happy

    Like a guiding mother, you taught me morals
    Like a caring healer, you thawed my once frozen heart
    Like a barking sergeant, you disciplined my attitude
    Like a vigilant potter, you moulded me into art
    I was transformed

    “I’m leaving.”
    Your fatal words ceased my once carefree heart’s beat
    “Goodbye,” I wish I had whispered back
    Alas, it was too difficult a feat
    I was grieving

    Separated physically, you once attempted to keep us together
    Yet I was lazy, busy, overridden with stupidity
    My effort for our long-distance bond was none
    Hence the end of our friendship’s continuity
    I was foolish

    Years flew by, stealing our amity with it
    We congregate never; we contact not
    Yet your brilliant, silly grin lay engraved in my mind, my soul
    Let us strive for memories immortal, and halt their rot
    I was once your friend
