Diamond in The Rough.

I can't deny it,
This blooming, aggravating hatred I have towards you,
And for what you might ask?
Well generally, I'm very insecure.

I feel as if I'm not good enough as your friend,
I feel as if I am deteriorating,
As if I'm failing to uphold a special place in your life.

And I want to so bad, you mean so much to me.
You're one of the friends I have who withstood by me from thick and thin,
A diamond in the rough.

And in courtesy of that old school song, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend",
I call you diamond,
Not just because I think you're breathtakingly beautiful,
Not just because you are desired by many (irresistible...?)
Not just because your actions are devoid of impurity,
But it's mainly because, you are one of those people whom I want to keep forever in my care.
So that no one can hurt you.

But lately I feel as if I'm hurting you,
And in the same way I am hurting myself,
Maybe I can't keep you with me forever,
I can't be engulfed in greed,
Though by far, you're too precious to let go.

After you are passed on to someone else,
I can always take a gander on how happy you are and visit you again.

For now, I hope you are always content with everything you are blessed with,
Live a fulfilling life,
And may the Lord forever have you in His care and shower you with love and peace.
