Friends Forever

There’s a place under the sun

Where two lost souls found each other

They rest upon each other’s heart

Ad never again did they wander.

No one thought there would spark

A feeling of unselfish love

It was something they’d live their whole life with-

Something they can’t  have in a bid

It was something wonderful and immeasurable-

Something strong and unsinkable…

 

It was something called  “FRIENDSHIP”…

And that two lost souls that once were wandering was  YOU & ME!

 

There’s a place under the stars

Where we open each other’s heart;

We shared the pains, sorrows and tears

And we survived all through the years;

With one, it’s halfway through success

With the two of us-everything’s such a mess;

For sometime I’ve done you wrong-

When my heart’s temptation is not too strong,

But then you reached out your hand

And gently say you understand.

When I’m down, you cheer me up,

When you’re lost, I hold your hand.

When I’m troubled and can’t be at ease,

You’ll go with me wherever I please.

You need a listening ear, I’m here-

I need a shoulder to cry on, you’re there.

Your heart is broken, I won’t leave you.

Whoever is accountable, I’d truly care for you.

 

We shared lollipops and twirls

Have all the fun and cheers

Sang songs even out of tune

Danced out reggaes and  ballrooms

There’s never such an odd time with us together

And it makes me think we’re friends forever.

 

There never was a time that parting crossed my mind

And it’s really hard to accept that we’d soon have to part

What would happen to all those times we shared,

Would it be just mem’ries to look back to when we get there?

I’d wish you goodluck and you’d wish me the same

I’d say my prayers for you and please do take care.

May God bless you all throughout your life-

And may you find your heart’s desire and may you be truly loved.

Don’t you ever stop fighting along-

Though the road ahead could be rough and long.

And the whole world may be a barrier to get through success-

But never give up, just believe in yourself!

 

This is not goodbye, I hope…

But I’m sure gonna miss you, friend.

 

Reality says we’d go on our own diff’rent ways

“But I won’t forget  to remember,” you say.

Please don’t go too far-

I might be so lonely for sometime;

In a way that you need someone-

Just call on and I won’t fail to come.

In time, I know we can bring back the old times we’ve shared,

And it would seem that nothing changed.

It’s because our hearts  would get in touch with each other-

And because we’re chained as “FRIENDS FOREVER!”
