Ode to Mayeth

I may not have been constant in telling you this but since I can’t be thankful enough of your friendship all these years, I felt compelled to pronounce my gratitude and appreciation of the fact that you’re one of my treasured jewels. While people in my life have come and go, I value the fact that you’ve served as the shadow in my bright side and the flaming torch when darkness invaded my sight. You have been a good reason why amidst all the lunacies and insecurities I have been to the past fourteen years of our acquaintanceship, I held on to my remaining senses; for I know for a fact that with your companion I can be contented on being a simple man with simplest dreams and wants, with your mere presence I can be peaceful and serene. Above all, with your friendship, I am still the Ady nobody else knows of.

We’ve grown to be different individuals and it’s something we don’t deny. While I’m the strong-willed, you’re the composed one. While I dreamt of reaching the farthest star, you have been contented on wishing me well on the journey. Yet, when I fail (which I always do, in the first place) I hear no blames; I just feel the most silent presence of a very understanding sister. You rejoiced with my successes, you wept with my defeats. As what you’ve told me, our friendship will never be tarnished by things I chose not to tell you; and with that I am really thankful, for I know you value my individuality and my unique way of thinking. My only wish is that, you won’t get tired of me and my shortcomings.

I am writing this not to promise I am to give you the same love and care you’re giving me. My reason of writing this is simply for the world to know that I have in my life the friend they could wish for – may not be the best but definitely, sharing my whole life with. I love you Yeth! And I’ll always do…
