This was highly requested by a friend. I wrote it long ago when her really good friend got transferred to a different city. It is through her eyes and how she must have felt. It has sprinkles of how I felt too because he was my friend as well. Here's an ode to my friend who truly is THE KING OF LIFE.

KING OF LIFE

Just as the stars shine bright at night

And depart as rises the sun

You came into my life and then

Left to touch another one.

My time with you, though was short

Was the best of what I have known

You came and cared, taught me to love

Taught me how to let go.

You showed me the true spirit of life

Which was far beyond just me

You showed me the magic that care had

Your benevolence enraptured me.

I thought a lot that how can one

Always do whatever he wants

When all of us us are just mere slaves

Of others words and taunts.

Though you are here with me no more

You led me to a fresh start

Though you are no more here with me

You continue to rule my heart.
