Letter To My Best Friend

I am scribbling this letter to you my best
And hoping my words will give comfort
I believe you are reading this with Joy
In your heart it will be for a long while
This note will serve as reminiscence
Of the day we made time capsules
In years to come we will giggle over it
knowing how much you meant to me

Everything started like a fairy tale
Conjured in that inner part of my mind
I am so ecstatic at the thought of it all
So overwhelmed that you are here
Many nights we spent enunciating words
That only we both could purely fathom
I never envisaged to find a confidant
And then you came and took it all up

I remember those moments I had to cry
You were always there to dry my tears
Stood by me while falling  in love
Putting me through when I was in pain
Like skies when mountain may crumble
You watched over me till I was fine
There were parts of me I wouldn’t let out
But with you boundaries were crushed


My love for you is deep and bound
Though non-sexual  as true as ever
Nothing  I wouldn’t do for you
Trusting you with everything I am
You are somewhat a soul-sibling
And you’ve known this a long time
I’ll whisper the truth to your soul
With not a care what no man thinks


I’ll take your precious hand in mine
As we walk through troubled mud’s
It doesn’t matter if we’ve got bent backs
My thoughts of you will never have an end
These lines are just a grasp of your worth
Nothing compared to the angel you are
You brought a change into my world
Long awaited and now more fulfilled


Pure love is what best friends give
 I’ll always love you like a brother
Nothing  can ever change that fact
And remember you’ll always be the best
Quarters to come when in our homes
You will find this hidden inside an urn
I hope you one day get to read these
For they are memories I’ll give to none
