The day started with the thought
You would be here
To say farewell
I met you at the reception
And we were glad
That parking the car was a hassle
We were stealing moments
To spend together
In our failing bid to relive
Moments, soon to be memories
We shared a joke
And a cup of tea
In a place you love so well
We embraced
It was difficult to let go
With a parting smile and a saying
You drove away
Past the Willow
Weeping
By the side of the road
Life, its strangeness
Our encounter
At the cross roads of time
And a journey lasting a while
Different backgrounds
Different cultures
Different beliefs
But one thing
Made us transcend
Beyond these pseudo hurdles
Made us share
A bond
A bond of selfless
Friendship
Outstanding
Outstanding
