For new beginnings

Since the days
I have known you
seen you and
talked to you

laughed with you
on stupid jokes
Shared with you
philosophical thoughts

Confided in you
dilemmas I had
And envied you
for the aura you had

I knew you were
not like the lot
You had courage
and confidence
Charisma in short

You were brave enough
to do what's right
You chose the path
with none by your side

And you continued to walk
Without waiting for approval
Rose above the ashes
Like a phoenix after upheaval

Now it's time for you
To celebrate with all might
As you begin to write
A new chapter of your life

And yet again
I fail to be by your side
For reasons known to you
Maybe such is life

Even if I will be
distant from you
Wishing for your well being
my prayers will continue

And i wait for the moments
To see you smile
With those dimpled cheeks
As you walk down the aisle.
