This poem is dedicated to Martin Goossens of Zandvoort, Netherlands. <br />He is my digital brother, an English professor, whom I met through the internet way back in 2003. <br /> <br /> <br />I was so alone and thinking just fine <br />I was not looking for everyone to be mine <br />I thought friends was just a fabrication <br />A train that wouldn't stop at my station. <br /> <br />Home alone that was my consignment <br />And my solitary confinement <br />So when we met I was getting around you <br />I didn't know I was looking for a friend like you. <br /> <br />Until I found you through the internet, Sir Martin <br />With your smile I am released from in vain <br />They way you talk I do really appreciate <br />Since the first time we gladly met. <br /> <br />I didn't know I was looking for a friend <br />Until I found you without forbid <br />How can I give thanks to the Lord? <br />That you're here with me nice and good! <br /> <br />No matter how far the distance is <br />Europe to Asia and vice-versa with a kiss <br />Philippines to Netherlands is quite a near <br />Zandvoort and Tacloban, the place we share. <br /> <br />How can I forget a person like you? <br />With a sweet smile and words are true <br />A person who values friendship and emotion <br />In this world which has full of love and affection.<br /><br />JAPCHAE Wyeth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-didn-t-know-i-was-looking-for-a-friend/
