Dedicated to Evi and Ann.
For 20 long years
Thick pals they'd been;
Through kindergarten till college
Two best friends you'd ever seen.
Each looked out for the other
And kept her best interests at heart,
Hardly losing sight of one another
They were never apart.
But then one day,
She received a mail,
A congratulatory note if you must
To do her Masters, she'd have to set a sail(!)
To the land of opportunities,
To make her dreams come true,
To make all the moolah,
And start life brand new.
Its funny when the same reasons
Can make us happy and sad,
It's what the besties went through,
It's no wonder they felt so bad.
But with heads held high,
they decided to say their good byes;
It broke their friends' hearts to see
how much they'd later cry.
But the very same distance,
That they'd dreaded so much;
Didn't bring with it any seams
And the friendship withstood as such.
Now they're happy,
And content with their lives,
Constantly in touch
through phone bills that reach the skies!
This short story,
just goes to show,
That good byes with the right people
are never that bad you know! :)
