On that day

On that day when we first met
did you remember what you did for me?
That very day when we were both wet
Because I first was then you gave me your umbrella, but I refused?

On that day when we first spoke to each other
did you remember what you first said?
That very day when we had a cup of coffee together
& insisted very much that you paid?

On that day when you first helped me
did you remember what you did for me?
That very day when I fell to the floor in misery
You pulled me back up to my feet and tell me how much I was worth?

On that day when you first called me
did you remember what you first said?
That very day when we talked for hours
When I was in need of you, when I was afraid?

On that day when we became one
did you remember how strong we were together?
That very day when you stretched out your hand
Then called me your friend?
Did you ever?

Remember ..
When we first held our hands
In agreement to be friends?

Remember ..
When we hugged, with this
A seal of our promise as friends forever?

Remember ..
When you were there for me when I failed
We then made a promise to be there for each other?

Remember ..
and always do,
that when you're failing,
I'm always a call away,
I'll be here, waiting

For you, my friend
who first lent me a helping hand
It is, now my turn,
as I stretch out my hand
for you.

reach for it.
