"You're My Bestfriend"

When I was in the dark

you were there as my light

you gave me shine and bright

that makes me alright

When I was sad and alone

you were there to comfort

you gave me glad and happiness

to fulfill my loneliness

When I was on the storm

you were there as my Shepherd

you make me out of wrong

And gave me home for my shelter

When there's almost no chance

you gave me your hands

to hold tight on the rope

you gave me strength of hope

So I'm thanking God

for the guardian I've had

for the angel He gave

for the protector he make

For the time you spent

for the thoughts we shared

for the care of a friend

the "best" and my "true" friend.

This is his poem to me. He gave it to me in a train during our college years 2002-2003. It was so amazing to accept a poem so after receiving this poem, I made a poem as a response to this. So funny!

The Diary

The first time I've met you,

I treat you as nothing;

'Coz, I didn't know your name,

Everything 'bout you is unclear.

When I've known your name,

We start talking to each other;

I thought that was the time,

To accept you as my classmate.

Now I've known you're my classmate,

I always seek your help;

Particularly, during our drawing class,

Resulting to call you my friend.

When we were together,

My life full of happiness;

For being joker, prosperous and friendly man,

Qualities that made you become my close friend.

Until God wanted to test,

How strong our friendship was;

You said, you stop studying,

That made my tears falling.

And then He answered my prayer,

At last! you agreed to my plan;

being apart was no space for us,

You and I were best of friends.

One night I was thinking,

If you're the one I've been searching for;

Until I've noticed myself writing,

"To you my bestfriend."

At first I've felt comfortable to you,

But as times goes by;

I tried to ask myself,

"Is am I also your bestfriend?"

I tried to find for the answers,

But what I've got were all negative;

You're always teasing and quarreling me,

My gifts, you didn't give importance.

I summarized all of them,

Collected and compacted as one;

I sadly concluded,"Oh God! I have mistaken again."

I tried to help you, But you regret all of them;

I prayed to our almighty God,

To lighten and widen your mind.

I verify my conclusion,

Until you came to my side;

Both of us were talking

Expressing our grievance to each other.

At night, I tried to write to you,

But I'm sorry I didn't,

Due to over fatigue and stress.

Haven't mistaken I received a letter,

After riding a train, I opened it;

I shock for the title while asking,

"Is what I've read true?"

As a response to your poem,

With all my heart and mind,

Without a doubt, no more no less,

I unabashedly say, ""You're my bestfriend"too.

The poem that I made to my bestfriend in college. (he!he! Andami ko poem noh?). That poem is my response to his poem.

When It is Too Late...

When was the last time we saw each other?

That was the time when you're always there;

Happy to be with when were together,

Promised to keep our friendship last forever.

When was the last time you cared for me?

That was the time when you're my bestfriend;

You taught me how to live simple and free,

The greatest ever my life had happened.

When was the last time you called me enemy?

That was the time when we're both angry;

I thought we've finished to resolve this already,

But why this incident always bothered my memory.

When was the last time I asked you a question?

That was the time when I was confused;

I tried oral and written communication,

But you regret all I had to use.

When was the last time you forgot my name?

That was the time when you sent back my letters

What's wrong did I've done you, for me to blame,

I didn't expect this could happened in us.

When was the last time I eagerly waited?

That was the time I wanted our friendship to be healed,

But as what you've stated,

The best thing to do, expect the unexpected.

When was the last time I'm your bestfriend?

That was the question I wanted to know,

And when was the last time you had a bestfriend?

When was the last time...when it is too late.?

That was the poem I made to my 4th year High School bestfriend. That was the time I want to know if I am his bestfriend too. He answered he didn't. Sad but true!!!
