Hey Amy,
You're the one who knows me.
Those seniors used to ask me
To tell you that you're pretty.
'Cause you're my bestie.
Remember when insecurity took over me?
And pushed you away from me,
'Cause they said someone like me
Doesn't deserve to call you homie.
You took me out for coffee,
Walked around New York City.
You said, "You should have cut them out instead of me."
We're meant to be together forever, aren't we?
Honestly, what did you see in me?
And will they ever set us free?
Hey Amy,
Nobody ever understands me.
The way you did to me.
When the world is full of hypocrisy,
And people are too shady,
You said it's okey to be me.
When all I wanted was serenity.
When those guys broke me,
You made me tea,
And told me they don't deserve me.
And you will never ever leave me.
Even though they called me crazy,
And no one believed in me.
You still chose to stand by me.
That meant everything to me.
Hey Amy,
I flew 9000 miles to see your baby.
We rode the subway down to Chelsea,
She walked on the grass and then kissed me,
Her favourite aunty.
Thanks for reminding me
How people are supposed to treat me,
And build a room for me,
Wherever you'll be.
Aren't we fancy?
Just like Barbara and Nancy,
When we're seventy.
"You better still hang out with me."
Love you for eternity
Your besti,
Angky
Poetry for my best friend Amy
celebrating our 20 years of friendship.
