When I was angry
you cooled me down
when I was dejected
you lent your shoulder
when I felt that the whole world rejected me
you lent your ears

for me
you gave up your dreams
for me
you waited
and for me
you spent your time

still I wonder,
how did you manage
to take care of this idiot

having learnt so much from you
and
with so much to learn from you
we moved apart

and who else in this earth
could have done so much
as you did, other than my parents

out of all these species I have seen
you are the one
who I felt
was more special for me
in whatever way I could think
and that is the truth.
