Three Wishes On Our Graduation

It is October and again, three wishes should I make, 
But this time something’s different, I am different. 
I wish our bound will not break; 
I wish we’ll swim together against this current. 

In this absurd world I hope I’ll be remembered, 
And I hope I’ll never forget you. 
You shall part and I should keep an even-temper, 
But I have just started and already have wished two. 

Properly should I think about the last one; 
It must be as strong as my feelings. 
It shouldn’t be a hit-and-run; 
It should be connected with our dealings. 

Happiness might sound cliché, 
But our whole life goes around it. 
It might be now considered passé, 
But I wish that doesn’t make you quit.
