To the Great Friend of Mine

(So I dedicate this to one of my best friends, who managed to somehow put up with my attitude. ‘Yo Vane, you should appreciate this. Just kidding though xD )

In my fifteen years of living in this world,

I met lots of people with different personalities and attitude.

Many just passed by, never leaving a trace of their existence.

Some stopped for a while, then eventually walk away of my life,

And only few had the guts to stay with me and join my journey.

Those few people permanently became part of my life.

They changed my boring and lonely routine into an entertaining one.

I even became the self-proclaimed leader of our circle.

But someone played a big role in my transformation.

Well, that someone is you, Vanessa, the great friend of mine.

You are such a big influence to my character.

You change my methods and ways of living.

You reformed my mind set about this dreary world we’re currently living.

You set restrictions on me when you know I’m about to side with the wrong.

You discovered my arrogant and horrid side yet you still stayed.

Thank you for everything you’ve done up till now.

For listening to my nonsense complaints and rants,

For putting up with my clingy and touchy side,

For entrusting me with your secrets and stories,

For trusting me like how I trust you wholeheartedly.

I may not say it out vocally and loudly

Nor express it properly through actions.

Maybe because I’m too embarrassed to admit it,

But I am very thankful of your existence,

For staying and becoming a great best friend of mine.

Even if the life of our friendship is not as long as the others,

The strength of it is just about the same as them if not more.

If there are times when we fought and argue over nonsensical things,

If there are moments when we misunderstood each other’s actions,

Just always remember, a simple argument won’t break our friendship.

Vanessa, you are a great friend that everyone would want.

You are the best friend I trusted the most.

A person who is really understanding and generous,

You may not be much of a servant of God,

But for me, your service to people dear to you is what makes you truly great.

(Hey, I love the members of Hannah Jill Circle equally, but it's really hard to choose! I love and trust you Mikka, Juliene, Kyle, and Caitlin too! )

Oh well. .. .
