Celebrations would be meaningless without you
As would be the victories.
Heartbreak would be impossible to overcome without
you
As would be the failures.
For without you there would not be a difference
Between liquor and milk,
No difference
Between Mondays and Saturdays
Nor would living and existing vary.
A mechanical machine working without lubrication
That is life in your absence.
To you I raise my glass, my friend,
I raise my glass to our friendship.
Walking with you in the shadows is better
Than walking alone in the light.
For with you, problems become experiences,
Mistakes become wisdom,
Irrationality conquers the most rational minds,
While logic is forced upon the dullest by you.
For you truly are the blanket in the night
And the shade in the sun.
Protecting yet reminding of the harsh realities.
For your sympathy and empathy
Has been the boon that this life needed.
Yet you’re sarcasm and rudeness
Have been the greatest teachings.
I toast to you my friend , I toast to us
Not many are like us , it is a pity
How fortunate would we be all if there were.
