Memory of a friend

Do you remember the girl sitting on the floor?
Curiously, you stared from the door,
You introduced yourself and shook my hand,
That was how we became friends.

Through the years we laugh and play,
Imagination of demons we both slay,
Then we laugh and play again,
That was how i know we were friends.

Remember how we dried those rice in the sun?
It was coloured and we had so much fun,
Mostly, it was fun to have a good friend,
I thought it was going to end.

We wrote lyrics on a blue book,
Lyrics from Michael Jackson, i once took,
We memorized and we sang,
Thinking of it now, it gives me a pang.

Animals shaped eraser, we too collected,
It was fun but soon, you were infected,
By the other; who you claimed a new friend,
In high school, that was when i lose my best friend.

We went our separate ways without any fight,
Just say 'hi' like we were never tight,
Everyday your new best friend took you away,
Willingly you followed while i still pray.

I remembered meeting up in the chapel,
And you offered me an apple,
You thought me how to really pray,
Losing you as my best friend was the hardest bill to pay.

Our friendship were left hanging on the line,
I counted the years and the number was nine,
If we meet, we meet and if we don't, we don't,
What role do i play, it is still unknown.

Nine years had passed and i still think,
Memories float while the boat sink,
I wished that things had been better,
I lose my best friend once, that really matter.

I still lay in bed and wonder,
My thoughts louder than the thunder,
What if we were still best friends?
My pain then, i don't have to pretend.
