I’ve had two close friends

Who are still alive

But only actively living in my memories

Such friendships won’t return,

Which I do feel a tint of remorse,

But I would like to tell you that

Each day he held tight to his PSP where

He would play video games with the other friend

But he would invite me to play out of no reason

Even though I suck at it when I was five

Then later they would teach me to pay

Where they would spend most of their time

Being patient enough so I could comprehend

It was effective

Effective enough that none of the other friends

That I encountered later in life

Could ever match up to them

They would grasp my hand

When walking down the street

To avoid getting hit by a car

Or to simply execute their elderly responsibility

I reencountered them a decade later

I forgot to tell them

the times I spent with them

were the happiest of my life

I wanted to but I saw them looking

Looking out the window to watch

Those who blocked their views

I was nevertheless happy to know

Such brightness and peace existed

Would always

Stay for me
