Journey with a Friend

This poem is dedicated to my friends...

There are times that I wish I was alone.
Times no one would say a word.
Words that give chills to my bone,
And memories that formed a cord.

I don't know who I am.
I don't know why I'm here.
I don't know why I'm so calm,
Knowing that you are near.

Pillows of tears.
Blanket of sorrows.
You erased all of my fears
And wiped away the tint on my eyebrows.

As I was going through pain,
You painted my life with rainbows.
The time when I almost went insane,
You were there and held my elbows.

I don't know why you are here.
I don't know why you stayed.
I don't know why you're so dear,
And your pureness will never be paid.

As time folds so fast,
You still fought the tides.
Knowing all of my past,
Yet you never chose sides.

You made me a rose.
As pretty, as free.
You guided my foes,
And the future, you let me see.

I know our paths will never be the same.
Our journey will somehow subside.
But I know this isn't a game,
And you will always be by my side.

As our memories pin in my heart,
Our time will never end.
We will never be apart,
And you will always be my friend.
