My Blessed Companion.

You came into my life,

As i stepped into teenage hood,

At first just thinking of making friends,

Not knowing it would bloom like this.

Nobody understands,

How our bonds are so strong,

Even if i tried to tell,

They probably won't comprehend.

We've been through thick and thin,

From pain to joy,

We have survived,

We have stayed strong.

You were the rainbow,

At the end of the storm,

You stayed by my side,

When the world turned away.

I'm not sure i'm much of a friend,

I know i'm imperfect,

With flaws i can't correct,

But this much i know is true.

I want you to know,

This 4-year friendship is no joke to me,

I believe there is many more years to come,

With much more memories to carve.

At times obligations may take up our time,

Taking away the time for talking,

But I believe you would understand,

That I'll always be there.

Burdens are lighter when carried by two,

If you need someone to talk to,

Or just a helping hand,

I'll be the one waiting there.

One day, life might part our ways,

Leading us to different paths,

Living our different destinies,

But i know our hearts will be linked forever.

By the end of the day,

When we have fought our battles,

This is what i promise you,

That you'll always be my best friend.

Then we'll live in Heaven together,

Where we'll never grow old,

Reminiscing the old times,

While walking on the path paved of our memories.

This poem is dedicated to my best friend, Cai Hong.

Just want to apologize for not being able to talk much ever since we were in different classes.

Who knows where life will bring us in the future. But with this poem, our friendship will be forever immortalized(sounds like sonnet 18..xD).
