An ode to Alexis.

Without the moon the Earth cannot exist.

It controls the tides and lights up the night.

For you the sun are the same.

Without you I cannot exist.

How can I explain that which is how I survive?

How can I say all the things that you mean to me?

My dearest friend,

My greatest strength,

The goal that drives me forward,

I long only to see your smile

And when you are sad my world crumbles

With you by my side there is nothing I cannot face

With you by my side my darkness subsides and my rage humble

In you I have found my eternal place

The person who accepts me and picks me up when I tumble

But its only when I am surrounded by your embrace

That I truly feel happy and safe.

So no matter what challenges are in front of you

No matter what pains lay ahead

Stay strong and hold your head up high

For I will always be right here by your side

To protect you, to stand by you, to support you,

To make you laugh, to make you feel special,

For you do the same for me

You make me feel strong

You make me feel accepted

You make me laugh when I smile

And you hold me while I cry

I am always thankful to have you

As my friend

From this time on

Until the end.

You are my closest friend

For in you I have an

Unbreakable bond, Friends Forever

Love,

Manjoume
