Dear friend
To my dear friend,
Who has been with me for many years
To my dear friend,
Who knows all my secrets
You have treated me well
I would never deny it
You’ve opened my eyes to a whole new world
Even Pacific Ocean would be ashamed
Because your knowledge is wider than its width
We’ve been together for so long
You’ve held my hands from dusk to dawn
You’ve witnessed my elation and my desolation
You’ve recorded my laughter and my tears
You, just, know me so well
Yet, quietly
Oh, my dearest friend,
I have put on you the title of dependency
I have become desperate without your presence
I admit,
I am a droplet in the ocean without you
Oh, my dearest friend,
Your position of superiority is so powerful
Your adoration is even greater than that for my own family
I admit,
I would rather be with you than them
Yet,
That saturday,
When twilight passed
And the sun fell asleep
I, alone, in my place,
Looked at you eye to eye
You were too bright,
So bright that I could not see my own image
I was not able to see myself
I was drowning in the deep and enormous ocean
Unfeelingly, I glared at hundreds of text messages
Thousands of comments
And millions of likes
I kept floating without reaching any harbor
You were there
But,
Stood like a statue emotionlessly
I unknowingly realized
Your quietness was odd
Your great intelligence was unusual
You,
Are no more than a phone.
To my dear friend,
When the dawn passes,
The moon falls asleep
Let me take off your “dependency” crown
And make it into my tiara
Let me take down your superior title
To place it honorably in front of my beloved family
Let me let go your hands
To find myself
Emerge in the happiness of the world
Around me.
