My Great Friend!

My Great Friend!

A Poem by Bidu Ibrahim

I thought the laughter would last, 
Believed the eyes would remain bright, 
Hoped you’d always be a friend
Who would understand my pain
Withstand the strain
And see me through the stress.

I thought I knew you, 
Believed you were in tune
With my not so erratic mood, 
Hoped you’d stay the same
And not change your ways! 

I thought you’d see through me
See the real me
Even when I chose not to, 
Hoped you will alongside me fight, 
Believed you’d for me take a bullet, 
thought you'd without hesitation
Blow my trumpet too, 
Believed you could read my mind
Even when from myself I try to hide.

I won’t say I won’t cry
Nor my tears hide, 
I won’t say I won’t rave and rant, 
I won’t say I won’t avoid your company, 
But this I say: 
With all the confidence left in me after all these, 
Now that I know better, 
The dent you left on me
Will awaken the silly me! 
But rest assured, you fiend
I will always remain your great friend.

Believed you could read my mind
Even when from myself I try to hide.
I love this really...I believd many times and many times i felt alone in the hardest times, then rarely someone could be next to you or really take your hand or help you, or offer his shoulder..Just real friend and real beloved can do!
The end is full of devotion and confidence that just with good you can defeat the emptiness...
