Today I completed 23 years,
It's been a really long time,
Since I shed any of my tears,
Even when I felt like crying.
Though blessed with rebirth,
I used to feel forsaken in life.
Sulking in the sadder shades,
Escaping to the blues felt easy.
Tears stayed behind the lids.
Imploding into myself forever,
Singing the saddest of songs,
Ever felt the sadness to stay?
That day I met you in myself,
I had felt like meeting myself.
Slow & steady, we come closer.
Especially for me, you descend.
Tears of loneliness held back by a mature conscience,
I had feared for myself, staying unsatisfied forever.
You have come like a promising dream to me,
How may I be thankful enough to you ever?
I thank you, my friend, for descending in my life as the greatest constant there ever will be in my life.
Thank you.
