A faith I taught to diminish within me A better future in which I cease to exist How can ailing willpower amount to this I concede then reaffirms my negativity
I told myself again and again That there's nothing for me to gain Hereafter Farfetching to chase after
In made-up fallacies I conjure in my head In battlefields I initiated in my mind My patheticness which I put into excuse Because of my well-put strife
There is nothing for me... I don't know if river of wine is fine-dine I couldn't recall what it is like To get the answer to all my whys
But...when we talked, For a moment I saw heaven in a friend I saw heaven in you
And then through fogs in my mind, Beacon of light cut through And clear the mist There's you
I swear I saw it in your eyes In pink cheeks and blushing purple sky Depth of your dimples consume me In your effervescent smile
Visions of heaven...don't have to be grandeur Gold, glitters, sparkles...can also suit a sinner A terrible person can turn terrific What's been awful can turn awesome
You taught me this in such subtleties Then... it hits me
I do not wish to be apart from you For 10 years...all we were was together We'd have teatime every Saturday And be friendly neighbours
Our kids will be best friends like us And I'll save your seat in every occasion Because you bring me back when I'm lost And I was a goner just now, until you laugh it the hell out
I don't want to be in any dimension In which it's reek of your absence I don't want to be cursed with hellish misery And let damnation wreak havoc within me
We made a promise When we were thirteen That we'd keep each other company I can't let you lonely
So...Wherever you'll be I have to be there too My most ardent friend I'll try to catch up with you
I'll be good, I promise We'll both make it through For I saw heaven in a friend I saw heaven in you
Dedicated to my beautiful best friend of 10 years...and counting, Nonie.
