Eternity

This poem is for one of my best friends, and, undoubtedtly,

the time we spent together.

When night fell，

the diamond-like shimmering stars

bend down to kiss you.

 Would you miss me too?

When nostalgia came,

 past memories flooded over me

 like endless tides.

Were you by my side?

Gone were the days,

 when we chatted against the vast blue sky.

 How I wished the planet Earth could turn slowly

 if I had to say farewell in a sigh.

Coming is the future,

 when I will be chasing your pace tirelessly

just to respond to such heating passion buried inside—

I have been praying

 that you could grant me a chance

to seek eternity together,

despite all those gossips and prejudice along the way.
