for a friend on her birthday..
just something i wrote for a very dear friend on her 18th birthday..
well, here goes..
Like a flower that blooms at midday,
A new chapter has finally come your way
The stars twinkle and shine in a vast array
Something magical happens on your special day
Vulnerable and fickle you were back then,
Foolish and imprudent uttered some men
Whether or not they were telling something true
It doesn’t matter to me, they don’t have any clue
It was not so long ago since you crashed your life to mine
I don’t know if the thought would make me happy,
But you’ve definitely crossed the line
It was your face that would greet me anywhere I go
And that would always lead to something crazy, that I surely know
I don’t know why in an instant we clicked
Maybe it was because of the way we think
Dreams, fantasies, reveries or whatever you call it
It completes our day, it’s simply magic
Ok, maybe you have some moods and occasional hot tempers
But who cares, it’s just for awhile, it wouldn’t last forever
But maybe now, as you’re getting older,
Please control your anger and your regressive behaviors
When I come to think of it,
Maybe that’s what’s different and great in you,
You show who you really are and you’re being true
Especially to people you don’t really like
They just have to deal with it or else you’ll strike
So maybe I started on the wrong side,
But just like you, your goodness, it won’t hide
Deep within you, I know you care and you understand
You surely are ready to lend a helping hand
Being with you is just simply amazing
Great wonders and joy it could bring
I know you are capable of so many things
I believe in you and in the power of your dreams
Wherever you may go,
Remember I’m just here and you will always have a friend in me
A friend who can be as crazy as you could be
I may not say everything I want to say in this piece of paper
But hold in your heart the memories we shared,
Memories that will be cherished forever.
