My friend, an anchor in my life's ebbs and flow,
How I long to share each day's weights and delight.
Yet like Icarus, who dared to fly too high,
I fall, the yearning hidden from your sight.

As I seek solace in the times past, wishing you were here,
Grateful I feel for the memories, seeing you displace in an endless stream.
I know, my silence at times grows loud - a burden hard to bear,
Forgive for the voices inside swell within, my lips but a seam.

Though miles may stretch between us, know this truth:
Our friendship's a treasure trove I'll forever hold.
As you pursue your dreams with joy and shine a vibrant youth,
Come whatever may, I'll be rooting along for you to grow only bold.

When your journey turns up nothing short of legendary, bright and free,
I vow to stand here- if not beside -a pair of proud eyes welled up to see...
As for the most amazing human you can be,
Never shall you forget, one is always inwardly three :)
