The Best Present

dear friend,

a vivid feeling of gratefulness felt
when you died at such a young age
even earlier than i imagined
'cause I knew
you're leaving your pain behind.

and the truth is i'd once asked God to take you away

because i couldn't stand anymore

to see you looking so pale in that green uniform

with those devil tubes in your mouth.

i'd been thinking of you

days and nights when i was far away from you

and the only day i'd a chance to talk to you

was the day that you couldn't talk anymore

waiting for your last breath to be taken away.

once your heart stopped beating

i couldn't help but crying in silence

with that guy-the one who you asked me to be with

and thanks to you for giving me the best present ever.
