My burning candle

This is a poem that i had written for my best friend. We had stepped into a phase were we had remained enemies. the poem is about how i was glad to get her back as she was before even after we fought.

When all the light around me fades,
and the darkness cascades,
you lighten up just for me,
so that i can clearly see.
Whenever you flicker and the darkness returns
I know you'd come back, 'cuz your candle still burns
you chased all my doubts away
and you've shown me the best way
you've stood by me all along
and sometimes, left me just a song
For there was a time when i DID burn
when i thought that you'd never return
my flickering candle left me blank
I wanted you to pull me back,as I sank
Everyday I spent without your jokes
I missed your cuddling and all your strokes
I made new friends when you left me deep down
non like you, I couldn't stop my frown
For you I have waited for eons
and then you come back with a bunch of yawns
Oh! How i missed my burning candle
I don't know how i managed to handle
Missed all the lame things we crack
just to face our teacher's attack
and all those dumb jokes u make
believe me, I laughed just for your sake
I still think I'm better at it
oh wait, we're the "same person" s**t
You mean more than just that candle to me
burning so bright, I can barely see
Damn that attitude phase of life we had
it just wasted our time and made us sad
I really don't want a climax to that story
because that would just end up with a sorry
Oh my god, the number of promises we made
got to fulfill them all before they fade
I think its time now to end this thing
I actually have many more to bring
a heart full good bye from a heart full me
we've still got some time, let's wait and see.

Friendship is the best gift to us from lord. Even if we meet our best friend after years, there always remains a sense of closeness. We do not need formalities because we are ourselves in front of a friend. So, this was the sweet dedication to friendship. And, congratulations for writing your first poem. It would have felt splendid. Keep it up.
