Best Friend Forever

Always knew that love 
Would come find me one day
But I didn’t know it was you
Who god sends my way 

You said hello to me
And took me by surprise
And you just captivate me
And I got lost in your eyes

And I know that you were
A perfect gift from above
You were funny, intelligent
And so easy for me to love

You showed me kindness
And make me smile again
Give hope to move forward
And leave behind my pain

You said that I’m special
And you believe in me
And make me promise to
Publish my poems for all to see

I would tell you ghost stories
And folk lore’s of Trinidad
And you would listen to me
And great conversations we had

You are the gift from above
An angel from the skies
You bring so much happiness
And tears of joy to my eyes

God knows I was suffering
The hurt I was going through
So please don’t hate me
When I said how much I love you

And as I write this poem for you
Tears are falling on my keyboards
And it feels like in my heart
There are a million swords

But every time it stabs me
It makes love comes alive
Hoping the maybe the end 
Of my misery has finally arrive

But I will never have the courage
To say you are my dream come true
Because I don’t want you 
To hate me for loving you

You show me your picture
Because you cares for me
And it was the most beautiful
Sight of pure magical beauty

And I will give my life for you
If it’s what you ask for
And I will always love you
My best friend for ever more
