I Wish

I wish we could discuss
I wish you'd ask me what I got,how am I,what's going on
I wish I had the courage to tell you
I wish you'd believe me
I wish you were here
I don't have to be so close
Some things definitely don't have to know
I wish we'd pray together
I wish we'd talk more I wish we weren't just friends
Because I asked you to be one
I wish I knew your family and you knew mine
I wish all these and so much more
But all these wishes will never pass
They are as unsubstantial
as the mirage of the gulf
Maybe the minds of men
Worst part is,
You'll never get to know this

Bye

It was never a mistake
Or a coincidence
That paths we crossed

You just have to
Do what is right
Forgiveness is key
That I'll never forget.

But with a true friend
All the pains and joys are shared
That is so true
So says you

Concerned about you
I've always been
Though I'll never show it
Or admit it
I always do care
Anything for you
I'll always do
Your pains I see
And I've always cared.

All these happen
Without your knowledge
And perhaps
You'll never know

Looking up to you
Keeps me going
An inspiration to me
You'll always be

Everything is temporary
I learnt that from you
Do not get attached
That sums it all

Leave the past
Where it belongs
That's a lesson
For a lifelong

And though you'll have to leave
And ways we'll have to part
The mark you engraved in my heart
Will never be erased

I love you so freaking much
That's not a saying
It's all I can say
When I have nothing to tell.

When my hands can't reach
Those I love
I hug them with my prayers
And so shall I
Do that forever

Everyone comes and goes
And so will you
The part you took in my life
Can never be compared
Even though you took the lions share
I never will care
For that's the way
It was always meant to be

A diamond you'll always be
So hard to find
And I'll treasure you
All the days of my life.

An inspiration to me
You have always been
More than a friend
More than a sister
Time we've spent together
Can never be enough
And never will be enough
The experiences,the lessons
The pains ,the joy
And everything
Words can never be enough
To express it all
I learned  how to love
All from you
And giving freely
To everyone and anyone
Holding back nothing
To anyone
All this will remain
Etched in my mind
That I had a friend like yours

And this is for sure
That time will come
When ways we'll have to part
Everything is temporary
But you don't have to be

I hate seeing you in pain
Or in trouble
And when I can
I've and always will
Try to help you out.

I know you don't mind
Getting into trouble
But then I do
And that's why
I'll never let you.

you source of strength
You have always been
What will I ever do
When I wake up
And never see you again

A blessing to my family
You will always be
And may God keep you
Everywhere you be
The prayers of those I love
Is all that I need.

A love like yours
Is hard to find
And though it hurts to say
I just have to
Bye
And I will always love you
