A friend so true….

 *coughs*

Been a while fam….

Who missed sweet poetry?…..

Through the darkest night, when shadows conspire,

I'll illuminate your path with beams of fire,

In the realm of friendship, so pure and true,

A tale unfolds of a friend I once knew,

For in your veins, courage flows deep,

Like a river of hope, defiance steeped,

A fighter's spirit within you thrives,

Banishing darkness, as resilience derives.

but now, a tempest brews within your soul,

Whispering doubts and tempting you to roll,

A longing in your eyes, a hunger deep within,

A craving to wander where forbidden dreams begin.

Is it the allure of adventure unknown,

Or the desire to seek what lies beyond, alone?

Yet, remember the laughter, the bond we once shared,

For true friendship is a treasure so rare.

Though the road may tempt with its dazzling charms,

Stay steadfast, my friend, within virtue's arms,

For pledges made in moments of joy and trust,

Should not be forgotten in moments of wanderlust.

Remember the memories, like petals on a breeze,

The laughter, the tears, the whispers in the trees,

Each cherished moment woven into our hearts,

A testament to the strength of our shared arts.

If doubts assail, reach out and hold my hand,

For a friend's strength lies not in breaking his vow,

*But in staying true, even when tempted to bow.*
