a dear friend

I sought knowledge from a person far from me,
I needed a mind that is free,
I needed an opinion beyond my understanding,
And I needed someone that is worth believing.

I listened hard and listened well
Now it’s my time to go out of my shell
Though my mind has been wondering far
And my common principles are at war.

I sought to be relieved from my troubles
But my weariness and discomfort shows
From this identity I seek
I seem to grow more and more mimic

I minuscule this undertaking
But soon enough I started breaking
I lost everything I have in the gamble
And I learned one good thing, to be humble

In this new leaf I turn
My old self I realized I had to burn
My path is far yet to be finished
So my heathen ways are slowly diminished

I have learned about life and more
Far from what I understood before
My mentors are life and death itself
My friends and the books in my shelf

I have earned an incomparable experience
And I am astonished to my deliverance
The greatest gift I ever had
Are friends and life and that’s all I have

I thank thee for the hand
For without yours I don’t know where I’d land
You showed me to be strong and just
And gave a new meaning to the word trust

You opened my eyes to what was real
And made me express what I really feel
I could not ask for more
Having you, I’m better to what I was before

Every time I look back
All I can do is laugh and sit back
I smile for I can remember you
A person who influenced me to be true

I write to say what you mean to me
And reminisce how great a friendship can be
Well shit happens as they say
And fate knows how to play

I found great happiness just talking to you
You don’t bore me, that am sure is true
Even if you don’t know me well
You’re my best friend for real

You are there even if I bug you
And when I feel blue
I don’t know if I had ever been a help for you
Sorry I’m on the other side of the world from you

Among the people that surrounds me
You’re the one that placed sense into me
I wish you good health and happiness
And I wish you all the best

All of us have our own calling
Being alone for you isn’t your true calling
Sometimes the happiness brought by someone
Is the best feeling we’ll have, you’ll have fun

You’re right to say people hurt people
People don’t love unconditionally and it’s simple
But when you realize you were happy with the wrong one
What more if you’re with the right one.

Don’t ever think your alone all the time
Your family’s there and me here all the time
It’s true we need our time alone
In time of help I’ll be here reminding you you’re not alone
