Bff

Last year, when I came in a bit late,
I lost all my hopes, though you didn't mean it. 
I didn't know that you didn't know,
but there wasn't a hard feeling, not one. 
But then, you came to stand by me,
and that feeling you gave to me...
it still remains, unchanged. 

We changed, all of us together, 
now we're a hard wall
that cannot be offended. 
Our foundation laid, thick and fast,
from  one look to holding hands. 
I never thought, 
it would be this powerful. 

Words are too weak for the feeling you gave me. 
But I mustn't forget my thanks.
You had built a shelter 
for my innocent soul to live,
and though one day... I'd have to fly away,
I shan't forget that roof, which you still holds by me.

*For Hamna, Rabiha, Ruqaiya, and Nelee - with whose frienship I live my day. They were the first people (other than my family) to make me assure that I'm not alone and also the ones who made me feel touched by their friendship.
