In my small world,
within my tiny heart,
A portion controlled by friends,
I got this gem
who rules it wholly.

The day we first met,
I instantly placed the bet
to be forever in debt,
cause you never let me fret.

You & I took on this beautiful journey called ‘friendship’,
with no terms attached,
beyond promises,
left out pictures,
wrapped just in the opulence of memories.

Dear best friend,
over the years,
despite the country mile,
thin yak,
you’re with me forevermore,
appearing like a beacon,
whenever I need you the most.

There isn’t a day that goes by,
without me going agape,
asking just one question–
what did I ever do to deserve you?

I can never thank you enough
for choosing to stick with me, always,
I can never love you enough
for the way you care for me invariably,
I can never relish you enough
for the amount of thought and
the effort you put in those letters,
all I can do is to try my best
to be at least half the person you’re–
kind, comforting, calm and warm
because you’re my one and only,
for today and till the end of the time.
