a poem for my childhood bestfriend...
dedicated to Jinky D. Cañete "Ate Jinks" |
What fool am I to keep on searching Of a friend I'll consider best? When the answer's not In the rays of tomorrow Nor in today it rests. Just then my world alters, As fate willed it all That I travel to a distant place And there I met a soul, A soul my heart did recall. This soul was the one Whom I cared for and cared for me; Whom I loved and had loved me; Whom I missed and had missed me, Eight years ago. But in fate's command, She left me without a word. That was the deepest stab she had done, With pains my heart cannot afford. But today I can feel, She's still the friend I've known; Giving me same love and care, My heartbreak she had sewn. And alas! What fool am I to keep on searching Of a friend I'll consider best? When the answer lies beyond In the shadows of my past. I gazed in her eyes and I have found The friend I've been looking for, Who made me laugh when I was torn; Whom I never had a war; Who never broke my heart; Whose love and care for me, Remained untouched by time. What fool am I to keep on searching Of a friend I'll consider best? When all I have to do is to look Back at the tresures of my past. What fool am I to forget The reason why I searched? 'Twas because of a loss in my past Of a friend, whom I thought would last. But now that our paths met again, I can die content with my childhood bestfriend. |
