Tonight
I am reminded
of my best friend
A nice, short,
happy young girl
with bright smiles that could light up
any dark days.
About her love,
one day, she fell in love
towards a boy.
It was love at first sight.
She could only feel him
through her eyes,
his figure,
radiating warmth
towards her heart.
He was quite the popular one.
Lots of girls would
take pictures.
A guy fond of soccer.
He'd have lots of secret admirers,
and that includes
my best friend.
She told me how much
she wanted to know
more about him.
Be friends with him.
I told her to try,
but she didn't want to.
I would sometimes
stare at her,
when that boy
she adores,
appears between
our surroundings.
Her black orbs,
would follow his figure
wherever he goes.
But never once,
I see a smile escape from
her pink lips.
Instead, furrowing eyebrows
and pursed lips accompanied
her cream-skinned face.
I asked her again,
always full of curiosity,
I wonder,
if she ever cried for that boy.
And she answered.
"Not even once."
I was surprised,
how she managed to do that
I had to admit,
it was amazing of her,
to not cry over boys.
"You can love someone, but don't love them too much."
Is what she said to me.
And I came to realization,
perhaps that is how.
She was also strong to begin with,
she could cope with all the pain
even the ones I maybe never
knew about.
She lets herself get wasted,
by every air she breathes in.
Keep on smiling, my friend,
let the kindness of the sunshine
wash away your pain and throw
away all of your anvils off from
your shoulders.
If you have to move on, then move on.
May not be easy
as it seems,
but you will succeed.
For I wish you the best of luck.
My best friend,
she couldn't be anything more
than a secret admirer towards
that good-looking boy.
And that boy,
Every time I see him,
I mentally stated,
he will never know,
that someone just admired him
from far,
had real feelings for him,
inside her little heart.
Because for what she had,
it was pure love.
