The Best of Times

I recall as the best of times, ..
when we met for the first time 
You have just arrived on campus 
and packing to your apartment
You needed a helping hand
And I offered you mine. 
You'd never let go. 



I recall as the best of times, ..
When we walked together to classes
and when our classes did not coincide
you would always take your time  
and call out for me
before leaving for your class



I recall as the best of times, ..
When we held hands like lovers,
though we were just good friends.



I recall as the best of times, ..
When you teased me with laughter
by holding my hand so tenderly
even when you were aware of the presence 
of friends and colleagues
though I was a bit shy and a little embarrassed.



I recall as the best of times, ..
When we talked and laughed together
like we had known each other since childhood



I recall as the best of times, ..
When you trusted me with your little secrets
and I knew I would never let you down.



I recall as the best of times, ..
when we had to be seperated 
after our school years
You were aiming for the stars 
While I aimed for the moon
We could not hold each other back
But we hoped fate and destiny
should bring our path together again, 
someday.
