Analysis of To my Friend
*To My Friend*
It's difficult for me
To write these lines
My pen feels so heavy
I think I'm weak.
We hardly talk
We rarely see
But your voice is sermon to me
And I won't forget what you look like.
I wonder why everyday
Why you're still hanging on
My heart keeps saying that you're a fool
I don't know why you have faith in me.
I can't say if I believe in you
You're just unbelievable!
I enjoy my solitude yes
But I'll never let you go.
I guess I'm crazy
Or tipsy with 'frater-nol'
Whatever
I cherish you.
