For Sarah & Victoire.

For Sarah & Victoire.

Oh! How jealous is the Cheshire Cat
Because I grin even wider whenever I think of you.
If my mouth can really reach my ears?
I'm probably bound to doubt that, but I sure try.

I spent hours and hours drawing pictures
Of ourselves in ten of fifteen years.
They were drawn to show I won't ever forget you
But they weren't half as good as what you deserve.

Today I went out to pick you some flowers
But all I could find were some nettles.
I although plucked them because I certainly knew,
Just thinking of you will turn them into lily and orchids.

Being the dreamer I am,
I often broke my bones by falling back into reality.
But your friendship is a like a parachute,
Bringing me to earth safely, like the soft flight of a feather
Being taken away by the wind.

I searched in my mind for the most beautiful words
And put them together to please your ears and hearts.
But while doing so, I realised they don't even half describe
Just how glad I am to have friends like you!
