When we first met
#2 of Friends
When we first met,
I didn't know what to expect,
All I knew is that I couldn't let
This depression plague you and keep you in debt,
On the outcome, I couldn't easily bet,
But after seeing your life with a huge dent,
I couldn't let you go on without your life being well-meant.
Time went on and you eventually recovered,
We gradually became friends,
Not the greatest, I'll admit,
But friends nonetheless.
Rest assured, I felt a special connection somehow,
Like maybe this was the one,
The one that I could trust with the threads of my life.
Tragedy never seemed to leave you be,
I nearly break down into tears every second you tell me
Of how life can be so cruel, but to other around you,
It's a cup of tea.
I tried my best, I really did,
To be a star in your darkest nights,
Not shining as bright as others,
But bright enough to light your path.
Then came the day you lost your star,
Your best and brightest,
You only had a couple stars now.
I told myself that I was going to shine the brightest,
And I'm glad I did.
Our lives may not be the best, and we may be two outcasts in the world,
Unaccepted by society, by our own kin,
But we'll travel our path together,
We won't give a care,
We'll get better, together,
And I'll still light your way in the dark,
Not as a star anymore,
But your handheld Zippo, there whenever you need me most.
Every second I spend with you, I still think back to that moment,
When you were at your lowest,
And I stopped to help you up and out of the dirt.
Do I regret that moment?
No, of course not.
I'm thankful for our first meet.
Because if it wasn't for that,
I wouldn't have found
You.
