Analysis of To the Friend Unknown




I fondly remember those precious moments!
 When you used to wait for me, for hours!
 Like a shadow you followed me, such a nice friend!
 What a sweet memory, time cannot erase your thought!
Often I found you, the one who is really different!
 In a crowd I saw you alone, and priceless!
 You made the moments so special and precious!
 Now where have you gone, tell me dear friend!
Life's journey continues no matter who is with us!
 Life's work goes on, it never gets stopped!
 Life has all the richness and so called wealth, so what?
 In my life, I lost you dear friend, where are you now?
You are my friend in need, you were, and that's true!
 We often thought alike, but took a different path!
 Reasons can't solve this riddle, reasons never could!
 There was no resolution, and you went far away!
I am waiting, though time has taken you!
 Your thought is with me, time can't take your memory!
 I remember the time when we walked together!
 O' sweet memory, how dear you are to me!
