For my true friend

I cherish you for making me smile

and being a shoulder to cry

I discern you for keeping my secrets

and soothing all my regrets

I always lend my ears to you

you bid guidance when muddled what to do

when trap by an air of melancholy

you're always there to cuddle me

Holding my hand makes me feel well

"You're special", something I can't tell

I'm glad that you're my trusty friend

cause this relationship will have no end

Yes we don't have monthsarries

but I can share with you a lot of memories

I know I cannot kiss you too

but we will never fight as paramours do

It's He who leads us into this friendship

and not into a short-term love relationship

perhaps we don't have a romantic ending

but our friendship is everlasting.
