For my friends,
What can I say?
I am glad they chose to stay by my side,
When, to myself, I wasn’t the most kind.
They have made my conscience,
This, how shall I explain?
When I needed they have been strong,
But never favoured me when wrong.
The true essence of friendship,
By efforts, can it be gained?
To be telling you, I don’t think I am the right one,
But I do believe, with goodwill, it can be earned.

Don’t want to shed any tears
Life can take unexpected turns,
With ups and downs forging the soul.
Oh.. I wish I could just go back five years,
And start again on a different note.
– – – –
But today the sun shines bright,
Filling up my gloomy heart with its penetrative light.
All the sadness of the past seems to be washing away under the magnificent rays,
A new fire of hope has just been ignite.
Now I have finally got the courage,
To face my worst fears.
Sooner rather than later,
In future, I don’t want to shed any tears.

As Long As I Last
No one can stop me from achieving success,
If I try my best.
I believe in God,
If my efforts are true then He will see to all the rest.
Beginning a new day with a new spark,
Without thinking about all the failed efforts of the past.
I will relentlessly keep on going forward,
As long as I last.

Ways Can Split but Destiny Can’t!
I was just seven years old,
When I heard your first song.
Who could have expected back then,
This journey was going to be so long.
When I am happy,
The upbeat songs make my day more special.
And when I am sad,
The slow relatable ballads mend my soul.
I don’t just admire you for the the music you made,
But also for the life lessons you guys taught me.
Life never keeps going on the same lane,
And we must always be ready for the next turn.
I listened to your music by choice,
But becoming a directioner was out of my control.
It’s been eleven years since ‘The One Direction’ was formed,
And became the inspiration for millions.
All of you have gone separate ways now,
And may never return back together in future.
Still, I have this firm belief in my heart,
Ways can split, but destiny can’t!
