So, it's your birthday,
You're apparently turn 20 today,
Let's see if I can sum up our time,
And also make this sucker rhyme.
On one sunny sombre day,
At a crowded stop to send a friend her way,
A tall, thin creature greeted us with a grin
Oh lawd, those glasses, they were a sin.
Never did I realize, you see
How much you would mean to me.
Our first year was a whirlwind of events
The fights, the lies, the endless wars,
Trust ran thin, the need of the hour,
But then you opened up your heart to me,
And the pain you concealed, I could see.
I decided then I would always protect you,
Hold you, mould you and take care of you.
Still the countless rumors never did cease ,
God of gossip, never appeased,
Wanting to wring every single neck,
That made you life a living wreck.
And in time our posse did lessen,
Scars of time bringing valuable lessons.
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes,
Not your appearance or your vice.
I see a woman confident and bold,
Who once was fragile, selfish and cold,
One to cherish, love and hold,
A loving heart, a kindred soul,
Who feeds me chocolates and makes me LOL,
Who rarely trusts because of situations untold
But baby, once you're in, you've struck gold.
For the million times I've wounded you,
I'm sorry but I do it because I love you.
Those three little words we trade so easily,
A lasting bond to hold for all eternity.
Woman, do me a favor and give your heart a chance,
You've only got one life, so run around and dance.
Your "Amma paatha paiyan" can go to hell,
He cant compare to the ones who love you still.
And as we embark on this last year of college together,
I hope one day you see this in the future and remember,
The tiny midget who stuck by your side,
Who made you laugh and made you cry
Who used your skin and notebooks to better her art.
And remember this, you're never alone,
You've got a gang of misfits vying for the crazy throne.
A random wild pig who makes you squeal with laughter,
An adorable kittykat who spouts the most absurd facts,
A level headed Nalli who never loses her cool,
These are the treasures you've hoarded from school.
So here's to wishing you a VERY BLOODY FUCKING AWESOME BIRTHDAY,
Call it Fate, Kismet, Karma because my bestie you were meant to be,
I love you, Maaaniie Chocka <3 ^^
