The declaration

A treasure of memories that would never fade away

Of days I laughed with you and cried while you wiped tears and it was okay

Of nights I spent silently praying begging God to make you stay

Of times we talked about thoughts and dreams until there was nothing left to say

I don’t have many eloquent words like the noble poets of yore

To describe all that I feel in embellished phrases and more

My feelings were lost in a tempest of uncertainty before

And you shone your beacon until they washed up safely ashore

I’m smitten by the idea of you in my life

Your mere presence in this world of struggle and strife

Your assurance in my heart, your helping hand by my side

I’m smitten by your lasting courage when sometimes hope died

With you everyday is an adventure about to start

Every thought is an epiphany, every action is an art

Every fault is a lesson; they all set you apart

Every soul stirring word inspires me, lingers perpetually in my heart

My love for you is silent but it would never begin to end

Some say its fate is pain and sorrow, some say it’s a foolish trend

Yet my heart is selfless, to such incredulity it would never bend

Let all of the world lament, for my love is blessed with a fierce friend
