Waiting For a Friend

Not many things make me as happy 
as the sound of your giggles and laugh.
Because I know how hard it is to keep your pride,
after all the sad deals that came out of your bag.
I’ve seen your tilting shadow waiting in the rain .
The fulfillment of a promise too difficult to sustain . 
I lament those silent hours, 
and the empty sound of nothingness 
coming from your somber room .
But today next to your close door,
through the shadows of the moon.
While my worries stirred and soared , 
I heard your laugh again . 
it was genuine , sublime , 
like a thousand  fireflies  dancing happily in the dark .
Like a bunch of butterflies passing swiftly 
by my hands .
Like the rains of April ;
Like colorful flowers of may, blooming all at once .
Like the whooshing of your wings 
almost ready to take on .
Like the times under rain drizzles 
we made fun of our mistakes. 
Like the universe telling me ,that you’re finally yourself ;
because you mastered to decode  the DNA of  pain .
