An Ode to an Angel
(Dedicated to a very special friend)
Who says miracles never happen?
They do for those lucky few.
Believe me, once I also met an angel
And it was simply a fairy tale come true.
With her wings of friendship,
She descended perhaps from those blue skies
And the best of both the heaven and the earth,
Dwelled in the innocence of her eyes.
She stepped into my life
When I had forgotten to trust
And her warm smile made me come alive
When my spirits were covered deep in dust.
Life was worth living once more
And with her, all seemed just fine.
But the moron that I was,
Always strived for more than what was mine.
At heart I only wished her best
Though in my expressing I proved quite inept
I went on hurting and accusing her all along
While she only silently wept.
But what she never knew is that
For all those tears she shed
I have cried twice the amount
And even wished I was dead
And now that she has gone away,
I wonder if it’s too late to make amends
Oh, if only I could turn back the time
And just return to being friends.
But even if she never comes back to me
This, I will cherish till my very end
I have been amongst those lucky few to have seen a miracle
Yes, once even I had an angel friend.
