To the friends that I had yesterday
With names that make me gay
The moments that we had together
Are the moments that I always want to gather

I laugh with myself alone
Remembering the jokes that crushes our bones
I, at the same time, cry in silence
Feeling the gloomy presence of your absence

It’s been years, I couldn’t count exactly
Since the time we’ve eaten so hungrily
And I tell you, I don’t want to be particular with the years
Because for certain, it will only bring my eyes to tears

Whenever I think of you
And feel this way
I tell my heart to feel every second of it
So it will be much sweeter when we soon meet

I want you to know
That as we individually grow
Hopeful I am that we will again gather
And share a table of packed lunch and laughter

She was there when the battle was won
Dressed in the purest form of light
Even so when the agony was raging and bold
Asha was whispering happy and bright

She was covered in dirt and stains
But in the cleanest clothes as well
Experiencing dark and pain
Although suffering was never in the way

Asha was always present
Needed or not she was there
Be it a devastating event
Or an hour of victorious affair

She helps you to get up
From a calamitous fall
And inspires you to reconstruct
Dreams broken together with the walls

Asha is ubiquitous
Asha is everywhere
Hope is ubiquitous
Hope is everywhere
Because Asha and hope is one
