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.
