My Friend

My Friend
by Jack Pitilon New York City, NY

My friend always loves me, no matter what
My friend never judges me
No Ifs, Ands or Buts
My friend is always there for me
Through thick and thin
With my friend by my side
I can never lose, I can only win
My friend loved me
Even when I wanted nothing to do with him
He has never once turned his back on me
Even though I turned mine on him
When I needed a favor
My friend was always there
When I got what I wanted
I vanished into thin air
When my wishes were not granted
I doubted if he really cared
It was only until one day
During my darkest hour
That my friend poured down his love for me
Like a beautiful rain shower
I asked myself, "Why did he wait so long
To pour his love on me?"
Then I thought and realized, he always did
It was I who was blind and did not see
His arms were always open
Ready to embrace me
He never forced himself
It was only until I was ready
Now that I am in his arms
I will never let go
This is a story about my friend Swami
I just wanted to let you know.
