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.
